Charity Commission inquiry

The Charity Commission opened statutory inquiries into the Kantor Foundation and Kantor Charitable Foundation after their founder, Dr Vitacheslav Kantor, was designated under UK sanctions. The Commission found that both charities were no longer viable due to reputational damage and the loss of their primary funder and trustees, leading to their winding up and dissolution.
The report states the Commission found the charities were no longer viable due to the founder's designation and lack of funding/trustees.
“In June 2023, the inquiries concluded that the Kantor Foundation and Kantor Charitable Foundation were no longer viable and that they should be wound up and dissolved.”
The report explicitly attributes misconduct to Dr Kantor for failing to resign and cooperate.
“The inquiries found that Dr Kantor was responsible for misconduct and/or mismanagement in the administration of both charities for failing to proactively resign following his designation.”
The report notes the reputational impact as a factor in the decision to wind up.
“The inquiries also determined that reputational damage arising from the designation, meant that it would be unlikely that the charities could resolve these matters through fundraising or recruitment.”
