Sourcewatch has stuff on Third Way Foundation funding, and funding for the laughably named 'Progressive Policy Institute'.
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Third_Way_Foundation
It lists some usual suspect foundations, Olin, Bradley. Some oil companies, Occidental, Chevron, Amoco. Some chem companies, DuPont, Dow. Defense companies, banks, insurance comps. The Kochs' Georgia-Pacific is listed on the old (up to 1999) Progressive Foundation's corporate funder list.
Al From, from your post 28 link, is still listed as Chair, but the stub article is 4 years old.
Thanks for the DU link. I often forget to look in here first, and instead go outside to get substantiating info. I'm glad you posted the excerpt snips in '04, because the progressive and prospect articles went down the internet memory hole.
