Singham has funded The People's Forum,

The Delhi Police also opened an investigation into NewsClick, focused on funding by Singham and its role in pushing a pro-China narrative. The police allege that "Email communications between Singham, Vijay Prashad, Prabir and their associates established that Singham was actively pursuing the China line on Covid-19, despite mounting criticism of the same from the international community. Singham is seen clearly nudging Prabir and the PPK NewsClick team to peddle the Chinese version…" It also accused Singham and his associates with creating a web of organizations to funnel money into NewsClick.

Singham also funds the People's Forum, ANSWER Coalition, the International People's Assembly, and the "Shut It Down for Palestine" (SID4P) campaign established in October 2023 during the start of the Gaza war. This prompted Republicans on the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to call for an investigation.

In May 2026, left-wing streamer Hasan Piker implicated Neville Roy Singham's funding network in a federal subpoena served to Piker and fellow activists regarding a 2026 trip to Cuba. In a livestream titled: "The Feds are After Me," Piker alleged that the government investigation into him and activists associated with Code Pink and the ANSWER coalition were actually a way of indirectly targeting Mr. Singham. Saying during the livestream: “I think that ultimately the target is probably Singham and his operation from PSL to ANSWER Coalition to CodePink — like anything that he has ever financed.”

In July 2026, it was reported that he was being investigated for potential violations of US tax law.

ANSWER Coalition ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), which has some "financial, personal, personnel and ideological" connections to Singham, is a coalition of groups that organize protests against the "Iran war, Israel and US policy".

Tricontinental Tricontinental is a Massachusetts-based think-tank, where Neville Roy Singham serves as chairman of the international advisory board and his son, Nate Singham, was a researcher. Tricontinental’s executive director, Vijay Prashad, said that Singham was the "original source" for Tricontinental’s endowment. Tricontinental is now the main arm of the opposition to the United States' efforts to divorce itself from Chinese technology and artificial intelligence research. Prashad is also a member of a CCP-linked think-tank whose leader, Wang Wen, is a member of the CCP’s leading foreign influence arm known as the United Front.

Code Pink Code Pink is an activist group founded and formed by Singham's wife Jodie Evans, a former Democratic Party operative, to protest the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Since 2017, approximately a quarter of Code Pink’s donations totaling more than $1.4 million have come from groups linked to Neville Roy Singham. Before Evans's and Singham's partnership, Evans and Code Pink were critics of the human rights violations of the Chinese Communist Party.

Both Evans and Code Pink have been critical of reports that China is conducting a genocide of its Muslim minority ethnic population. Code Pink activists have denied evidence of forced labor internment camps in Xinjiang.

BreakThrough News, which is a digital media outlet that has received funding from the People’s Forum, operates out of the same building and has an overlap in staff with the organization. It is alleged to have a pro-Palestine and pro-CCP point of view in its programming.

Party for Socialism and Liberation According to Fergie Chambers, the Party for Socialism and Liberation is a central component of Singham's organized network of non-profits and coalitions.

Over the past several years, the PSL has established more than a dozen "Liberation Centers" in multiple American cities. These centers operate as hubs for protest coordination and organizing efforts.
