Maccabee Task Force

What Maccabee Task Force does

Maccabee Task Force (MTF) is a US-based, donation-funded 501(c)-style nonprofit founded in 2015 and headquartered in Las Vegas that works to counter campus antisemitism and the BDS movement by identifying influential non-Jewish student leaders — including student government officials, journalists, faith leaders, activists, and campus organization heads — and bringing them to Israel on immersive educational trips. Once participants return, MTF sustains engagement through its Fellows program, post-trip reunion and coalition-building events, mentorship, professional networks spanning business, law, technology, medicine, and public policy, and a long-term alumni track. Cumulative outcome metrics from the organization include 5,000+ student leaders brought to Israel, a 93% success rate in preventing or defeating BDS and anti-Israel resolutions on partner campuses, a 92% favorable-view shift among 2025-2026 academic year participants, and a post-October 7 shift from 12% to 72% in the pro-Israel classification of trip participants six months post-trip.

The organization's core program architecture is a five-stage pipeline — Identify, Bring to Israel, Follow Up, Activate, Lead — implemented through six interlocking programs: Israel Trips (the core product), MTF Fellows, Post-Trip Engagement, Mentorship & Professional Networks, International Campus Work, and Alumni Engagement. Distribution operates as a community-led, field-driven GTM: campus networks and word-of-mouth identify candidates, alumni and Fellows refer subsequent cohorts, and operations extend internationally into challenging environments including the United Kingdom and South Africa in addition to the US and Israel. There is no proprietary platform or technology stack; the offering is human-programming intensive, supported by a content library (BDS Q&A, BDS Myths Exposed, video content) used for education and post-trip campus deployment.

Commercially, MTF is a private nonprofit with no disclosed revenue, parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or institutional investors. The stated revenue model is donations and charitable contributions, with the donation pathway prominent on the website. Pricing, donor counts, grant totals, and budget figures are not publicly disclosed. Outreach and fundraising rely on organic social channels (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn), website content, and direct contact pathways segmented for students, campus partners, donors, and alumni.

Core offering

Maccabee Task Force is a nonprofit organization that identifies influential non-Jewish student leaders on college campuses and brings them to Israel on immersive educational trips. After the trips, participants are supported through the MTF Fellows program, post-trip engagement, mentorship networks, and long-term alumni programming to build coalitions that combat antisemitism and counter BDS campaigns on campus. The organization operates globally, including in the U.S., U.K., and South Africa, and is funded primarily through donations.

Product overview

Maccabee Task Force operates as a unified campus leadership organization with multiple interconnected programs. The core offering centers on Israel Trips that bring influential student leaders to Israel, which then feeds into the MTF Fellows program for ongoing campus activism. Post-Trip Engagement maintains alumni involvement through reunion programs and coalition-building events, while Mentorship & Professional Networks provides career development pathways. The International Campus Work program extends these offerings globally, and Alumni Engagement ensures long-term connection with graduates. Together, these programs create a campus leadership infrastructure that identifies, educates, and activates student leaders to combat antisemitism.

Broad incumbents

• AIPAC / United States Israel Education Association: AIPAC is a major pro-Israel lobbying organization with a campus presence focused on political advocacy training. Its educational mission and donor base overlap substantially with MTF, though it operates primarily through political action rather than immersive travel.
• Anti-Defamation League (ADL): ADL is a major Jewish civil rights organization with significant campus antisemitism programming and BDS-tracking resources. It operates across many issue areas beyond MTF's narrow focus, making it a broader incumbent with overlapping but more diffuse campus engagement.

Direct peers

• Birthright Israel: Birthright Israel provides free educational trips to Israel for young Jewish adults, the most direct comparator to MTF's Israel trip program. It operates at much larger scale and targets Jewish (rather than non-Jewish) students, but shares the foundational model of immersive educational travel to Israel as an attitudinal intervention.
• StandWithUs: StandWithUs is a pro-Israel advocacy organization with a dedicated campus division running Israel programming, fellowships, and BDS response efforts. It addresses the same campus antisemitism and BDS challenge as MTF, with overlapping student engagement models.
• Hillel International: Hillel is the largest Jewish campus organization serving students at colleges and universities worldwide. Both Hillel and MTF operate on campuses to engage students around Israel and Jewish identity, though Hillel focuses on Jewish students directly while MTF more deliberately targets non-Jewish student leaders.
• Masa Israel Journey: Masa Israel runs long-term educational programs in Israel for young Jewish adults, complementing Birthright's shorter trips. Both MTF and Masa use immersive Israel-based experiential education as their core delivery model, though Masa targets Jewish participants for extended stays.
• CAMERA on Campus: CAMERA on Campus is the student-facing arm of the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America, focusing on media literacy and Israel advocacy on campuses. It shares MTF's content-driven approach to correcting misinformation and engaging student journalists.
• Encounter Programs: Encounter brings influential non-Jewish student leaders to Israel for short educational programs, an almost identical model to MTF's core target audience and methodology. It is one of the closest direct competitors in the non-Jewish student leader space.
• Israel on Campus Coalition (ICC): ICC is a coalition focused on combating BDS and anti-Israel activity on US campuses through advocacy, training, and student leader development. It directly parallels MTF's BDS-defeat focus and coalition-building approach to campus politics.

Emerging players

• Hasbara Fellowships: Hasbara Fellowships runs paid summer Israel advocacy training programs for North American students on campus. It overlaps with MTF's Israel advocacy and student leader development focus but differs in being school-year and summer intensive rather than immersive travel.
