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 the charities were no longer viable and wound them up, redistributing over £1.3m to other good causes.
The report states the Commission found the charities were no longer viable due to the founder's designation and lack of future funding or 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 identifies Dr Kantor's failure to resign and cooperate as misconduct.
“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 that reputational damage prevented the charities from recovering through fundraising.
“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.”
