Funny this is considered a non profit 
Somali Bantu Community Association of Maine Executive Director Muhidin Libah paid out over $100,000 from the charity he runs to members of his family between 2023 and 2024, tax filings show.
In 2023, Muhdin Libah paid his wife, Fadumo Libah, $21,551 for “various business transactions” and another family member, Hawa Dakane, $38,559 for work as a “Women’s Community Advocate,” according to tax documents. The Somali Bantu Community Association accepted $180,245 in government funding that year. 2024 brought more of the same, with Fadumo Libah and Dakane bringing in roughly $42,000 from the charity while it received $444,220 in public funds.
The Maine Community Foundation, in an effort promoted by Gov. Janet Mills (D-ME), collected funds to aid community recovery following the 2023 Lewiston shootings, which claimed 18 lives. Of the $6.6 million raised, $4.3 million was distributed to victims and their families. The remaining funds were given to a steering committee, which included Muhidin Libah, for distribution. He and the committee ultimately gave more than $65,000 to his organization.
