The Laber Foundation (legal name The Laber Foundation Inc, EIN 20-3925774) was a US private foundation run by the Miami businessman Uri Laber and Bassie Laber.[1] Its Form 990-PF returns cover the tax years ending November 2006 to November 2020, the last marked as its final return.[2][3] Over that period it reported $10,490,510 in contributions received and $10,816,530 in grants paid, mostly to Chabad-Lubavitch institutions in New York, Florida and elsewhere and to the Federation of Jewish Communities of the CIS. Every contributor named on its returns is Uri Laber himself. Mordechai Korf, Laber's business partner, was listed as its vice-president on the returns for the tax years ending 2010 to 2017.[4][5]

Context

Status: allegation. In 2020 the US Department of Justice filed civil forfeiture complaints alleging that Ihor Kolomoisky and Gennadiy Bogolyubov defrauded PrivatBank, and that their associates Mordechai Korf and Uriel Laber "created a web of entities, usually under some variation of the name 'Optima,' to further launder the misappropriated funds".[6] Korf and Laber are not defendants. They appear in the cases as claimants, and they deny any wrongdoing; no criminal charge against either man has been found. The press has reported their foundations' giving to Chabad charities, and no source has traced any of the alleged proceeds to those charities.[7][8] The full account, with the two men's response, is on Chabad and Ukraine. The tables below record lawful grants and donations as the foundation reported them to the Internal Revenue Service. They are not evidence of tracing.

Contributions received and Schedule B

Each 990-PF reports total contributions on Part I line 1. A foundation that received $5,000 or more from any one contributor must attach Schedule B naming them; line 2 is a box to tick if it was not required to do so.[9] A private foundation's Schedule B is open to public inspection, and none of the Schedule B pages found has any redaction.

Nov 2020 $32,610 Yes No None listed. Contributions of $5,000 or more reported, but no Schedule B Managers who gave more than 2% (Part XV line 1a): Uri Laber [3]
Editor's note: in the returns for the tax years ending Nov 2011 ($900,000), Nov 2012 ($948,700) and Nov 2020 ($32,610), the foundation ticked Part I line 2, which says it was "not required to attach Schedule B", and no Schedule B is attached, although the contributions reported on line 1 were above $5,000. Under the IRS "General Rule", a private foundation must list every contributor who gave $5,000 or more during the year.[9] Unless all of those gifts came from donors who each gave less than $5,000, which the returns do not suggest, the box and the figures sit awkwardly together. This is an apparent inconsistency on the face of the returns, noted by this page. It is not a finding by the IRS or any other regulator, and no source has been found that comments on it. In Nov 2008 ($2,700) the contributions were under $5,000, so ticking the box was consistent with the rules.

Finances by year

Figures as reported, in US dollars. Tax years end on 30 November; the form year is the year before (so the year to November 2013 was filed on the 2012 form).

Sources and gaps

  • Tax years ending 2010 onwards: figures are from the foundation's e-filed returns (IRS XML), checked against the ProPublica scans where they exist.
  • Tax years ending 2006–2009: figures were read from the scanned or printed returns. Line 25 and the grant statements were checked against each other.
  • No ProPublica scan exists for the returns for the tax years ending November 2019 and 2020 (the final return). Both are covered here from the e-filed versions.
  • ProPublica's summary gives the foundation's address as 3921 Alton Road. The returns themselves give 1521 Alton Road, No. 133, and in 2019 Schedule B gives Laber's address as 2046 North Bay Road, Miami Beach.
  • The payee "Commonwealth of Independent States", 800 Boylston Street, Boston ($638,000 in the tax years ending 2010–2012), is shown as filed. It may be the Federation of Jewish Communities of the CIS, but this has not been confirmed. The payee "Jewish Community Development Fund", 45 West 36th Street, New York ($570,000, tax year ending 2009), has not been identified.
  • Grants received by the recipients are not covered here. Many of them are churches or religious bodies that do not file Form 990, so these returns are often the only public record of the money.
