Allied Voices for Israel

What Allied Voices for Israel does

Allied Voices for Israel (AVI) is a Canadian nonprofit organization founded in 2023 and headquartered in Toronto that educates and empowers students to combat anti-Jewish hatred and advocate for Israel through coalition-building, partnership, and communication. The organization delivers a multi-program portfolio targeting Canadian high school (grades 8-12) and college/university students, including the flagship Common Ground Ambassadorship (which includes a 10-day Israel training trip and a newer Common Ground Italy experiential program), the Common Roots high school program, Campus Media Fellows (run with Honest Reporting Canada), 11 modular Israel-advocacy workshops, 8 ready-to-deploy campus campaigns, downloadable multilingual resources in English/French/Portuguese, the Common Voices podcast, an incident reporting system, a social media internship, a Krav Maga self-defense program, and the annual Herzl Awards ceremony.

AVI's underlying platform is content-and-community rather than technology-led: the core asset is a curated workshop curriculum and campus campaign toolkit distributed through a network of regional campus advisors across British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec/Atlantic Canada, supported by 300+ partner organizations spanning Jewish groups (Hillel, Chabad, StandWithUs), interfaith allies (Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Catholic), and Indigenous communities (First Nations, Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem). Distribution is hybrid: in-person campus workshops and ambassador programs combined with owned digital channels (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, podcast, email).

AVI's revenue model is donation-based philanthropy augmented by modest program participation fees. The Common Ground Ambassadorship charges $550 CAD per student (with a $250 refundable deposit) and Common Ground Italy charges $250 plus deposit, but the majority of programming — including Common Roots, workshops, and campus campaigns — is free for participants, subsidized by a small set of named family foundation sponsors (Glasenberg, Roadburg, Granovsky, Diamond, Goodman) and by fundraising events such as the Scotch & Cigars for Israel gala. AVI does not publish financial statements, and no parent company, venture backing, or acquisition activity is disclosed.
