The prime minister’s spokesman said Mrs May’s position was “clear” on Brexit after millions of Britons voted to unshackle the nation from the European Union.
It comes after it was reported funding for the Best for Britain campaign came through one of Mr Soros’s foundations.
Mrs May’s spokesman said: “There are many political and campaign groups in this country, that’s entirely right and as you would expect in a democracy.
“The prime minister’s position on this matter is clear, the country voted to leave the European Union, that’s what we are going to deliver and there won’t be a second referendum.”
Mr Soros is one of the world’s richest men who is known as the man who “broke the Bank of England”.
He has repeatedly spoken out against Brexit, saying it was possible for the UK to rejoin the EU soon after the nation leaves.
Anti-Brexit group chairman, Lord Malloch-Brown, a former minister, confirmed Mr Soros’s contribution to the Telegraph but said the group had followed rules governing financial contributions “to the letter”.
He said: “We have never hidden our agenda; we have been campaigning hard to win a meaningful vote on Brexit, which we did, and to keep all options on the table, including staying in the European Union.
