I’m also curious about International ANSWER. They seem to be the ones bringing out the numbers in anti-American protests. Who coordinates and funds their activities? It seems like Code Pink is the “face” of the movement but I think there are bigger forces behind them.
I did a few searches on Bing (like others here, I won’t use Google) wrt ANSWER funding and found this on their site:
ANSWER is an entirely grassroots, volunteer-based organization. Our work is made possible by the generous contributions of supporters like you. Please make a donation today.

And this on the ADL site:
ANSWER and IAC are not tax-exempt organizations but receive much of their funding through a fiscal sponsor, the Progress Unity Fund (PUF). PUF is a San Francisco-based 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2000 with the mission of providing a “progressive alternative to mainstream charities.”
In 2008, PUF issued grants totaling almost $140,000 and distributed more than $80,000 to various ANSWER regional chapters. In 2007, PUF allocated approximately $270,000 in grants, of which ANSWER chapters received close to $230,000. PUF also claims to have “helped found” ANSWER in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks to “promote a peaceful alternative to racism and war.”
At least one of PUF’s four principal employees, Muna Coobtee, is affiliated with ANSWER and is a member of its Los Angeles chapter’s steering committee. Coobtee is also affiliated with the Free Palestine Alliance (FPA), the Palestinian constituency within the ANSWER coalition.
In turn, PUF is at least loosely affiliated with the Workers World Party, a Marxist-Leninist organization. PUF’s director, Keith Pavlik, whose San Francisco home is the listed address for PUF’s offices, was a journalist for the Workers World newspaper, as were two of the three other employees listed on PUF’s tax filings, Coobtee and Brenda Sandburg.
ANSWER and IAC used to rely on another little-known non-profit organization called the People’s Rights Fund (PRF) as thier fiscal sponsor. PRF, which shared an address
and a phone number with IAC’s New York office, has since disbanded.

There are so many orgs that are related, intertwined, and/or that coordinate activities, many of which appear to be funded at least in part by Soros, IMHO it would take time and several CPAs to try to unwind the funding that all of these groups receive.
