What Israel on Campus Coalition does

Israel on Campus Coalition (ICC), legally Israel on Campus Coalition, Inc. (EIN 30-0664947), is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2001 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., with a secondary leadership presence in New York City. The organization supports and empowers pro-Israel student leaders on U.S. college campuses through a portfolio of programs: an annual three-day National Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. that convenes over 1,200 student leaders; the Geller International Fellowship, an elite six-month cohort for 40 select undergraduates culminating in a ten-day mission to Israel and the United Arab Emirates; a Microgrants Program funding student-led pro-Israel initiatives; Alternative Summer Break trips to Israel; and Rapid Response coordination, Research & Analysis, and Educational Resources services.

ICC also functions as a coordinating body for the broader U.S. pro-Israel campus movement, providing strategic consultations to executives of national pro-Israel organizations, professional development for field staff, and a Senior Fellows Network that maintains lifelong alumni engagement. Its faculty network spans over 600 university faculty across 200 campuses dedicated to reasoned discourse about Israel. Operating with 11–50 employees under CEO Jacob Baime (since 2013) and COO Ian Hersh (since 2015), and with a Board chaired by Dorothy Tananbaum, ICC distributes programming through a multi-channel digital footprint (website, Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, SMS keyword JOIN to 22002, email) and earned media coverage in outlets such as the Jerusalem Post and Fox News.

Revenue is generated through tax-deductible individual and corporate donations and through partnership support, with JNF-USA publicly identified as a "proud supporter" that powers the organization's website. Programs such as the Summit are described as "highly subsidized" for selected participants, who receive round-trip domestic airfare, shared hotel accommodations, and meals. The organization does not sell technology products, has no disclosed funding rounds, and operates as an independently governed nonprofit under District of Columbia law.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Hillel International: Hillel is the largest Jewish campus organization in the world, providing a broader umbrella of Jewish student life, education, and Israel engagement across hundreds of universities. It overlaps with ICC on pro-Israel student programming and campus leadership development but operates a much wider portfolio.
• Anti-Defamation League (ADL): ADL is a major civil rights organization that tracks campus antisemitism, trains students and faculty, and advocates for university policies. It operates in the same antisemitism-fighting space as ICC but at much larger scale and with broader civil-rights scope.
• Hadassah: Hadassah is a major Jewish women's organization with advocacy, education, and Zionist identity programming that includes a young-professional and student engagement layer. It overlaps with ICC on Israel education and Jewish leadership development but operates at a much broader scale.

Direct peers

• Birthright Israel Foundation: Birthright funds the flagship Taglit-Birthright Israel trips that send young Jewish adults to Israel. It shares ICC's strategy of using immersive Israel experiences as a leadership and identity-building pipeline for young adults.
• J Street: J Street is a pro-Israel, pro-peace advocacy organization with campus programming and a student network. While politically distinct from ICC, it operates in the same pro-Israel campus organizing space and competes for the same student leaders and donors.
• Zionist Organization of America (ZOA): ZOA is a longstanding pro-Israel advocacy organization with campus activism, legal action against antisemitism, and student outreach. It overlaps with ICC on combating BDS and campus antisemitism, though it operates with a more confrontational advocacy style.
• StandWithUs: StandWithUs runs dedicated campus programs, Israel education, and high school and university fellowships focused on combating antisemitism and BDS. Its structure and target audience closely mirror ICC's fellowship, microgrants, and Summit-style activities.
• CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America): CAMERA focuses on Israel advocacy through media monitoring, campus programming, and student fellowships. It directly overlaps with ICC's mission of equipping students with factual information and training to advocate for Israel on U.S. campuses.
• AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee): AIPAC is the largest pro-Israel advocacy organization in the U.S. and a direct comparable, with overlapping campus organizing, student leadership training, and field director infrastructure. ICC's CEO Jacob Baime was previously AIPAC's National Field Director, illustrating the close pipeline between the two organizations.

Others

• Jewish National Fund-USA (JNF-USA): JNF-USA is explicitly identified as ICC's core financial and operational supporter, powering the website and co-programming the Alternative Summer Break. While not a direct campus competitor, it is the most material ecosystem partner and potential substitute funder for ICC's donor base.
