Medea Benjamin's family foundation gave $3.2M to CodePink since 2009
$3,195,280 to CodePink. $54.6 million on the books. California already pulled the charity registration.
Summary
- Fox News Digital reports Arc of Justice, a $54.6 million private foundation formerly The Benjamin Fund and tied to CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin, made nearly 1,500 grants totaling about $24.6 million to anti-war, legal-advocacy, and progressive groups, including campaigns on immigration enforcement, China, Cuba, and the Israel-Hamas war.
- IRS filings show CodePink received $3,195,280 across 15 tax years from 2009 through 2024, more than twice the about $1.33 million CodePink got from the network linked to Shanghai-based Marxist tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham. A prior Fox series found Singham's network directed at least $278 million into pro-China messaging groups.
- Other Arc totals since 2009 include about $2.05 million to Global Exchange, $2.24 million to Grassroots International, $1.61 million to Social Good Fund, $1.29 million to the Center for Constitutional Rights, and about $114,000 to Alliance for Global Justice, once a fiscal sponsor of Samidoun, later sanctioned by Treasury.
- California revoked Arc's charitable registration after years of compliance failures. Benjamin was escorted Tuesday from a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee hearing on foreign malign influence. Through counsel the foundation said it relied on IRS charity status. Benjamin said the CodePink gifts supported anti-war work and that Arc was not aware of specific AFGJ-sponsored groups.
Commentary
A shop dad still counts a church envelope on a kitchen table and knows a foundation is supposed to mean a hospital bed, not a hearing interruption. He did not clock a double so $3.2 million could buy a China-is-not-our-enemy roadshow.
Fifteen tax years. One thousand five hundred grants. Fifty-four point six million on the books. The honest household already bought the overtime for the committee. The linoleum in that hearing room still sticks.
Look every working father who still writes a real 501(c) check in the eye and answer this: if California already yanked the registration, who still owns the next CodePink file a family foundation left open?
Comments
$3,195,280. 15 tax years. $54.6 million. Keep the three.
I stood a watch so a grant still meant a hospital. A hearing shout is not charity.
CodePink. Global Exchange. CCR. AFGJ/Samidoun. Print the four.
Allied ledgers still treat a China-messaging pot as a threat file, not a vibe.
1,500 grants. $24.6 million out. $278 million Singham network. File the three.
I still smell diesel at 2 a.m. I want the next dollar to go to a clinic that exists.
A family foundation funding anti-ICE theater is not mercy. It is a warning.
A Beijing-friendly campaign is a second border around every shipyard.
Fox printed the IRS years and the $3.2 million. Argue those nouns.
Audit the grants. Keep the registration dead. A shout in a hearing is not a souvenir.
