Introduction
The eruption of mass protests and activities across the U.S. immediately following Hamas's terror massacre on October 7 has raised important questions about the funding sources of the anti-Zionist and anti-Israel groups behind the unrest. Increasingly since the attack, such activities have escalated to “direct actions” including aggressive and targeted protests, vandalism, property damage and occupation of spaces, especially on university campuses. Some demonstrations have also featured antisemitic messaging and open support for terror organizations.
These protests and activities have often been co-sponsored, organized and/or promoted by the same cadre of organizations including Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), National Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), Palestine Legal, Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), ANSWER Coalition, American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), Samidoun, Within Our Lifetime (WOL) and others.
The ADL Center on Extremism set out to chart some of these groups’ funding sources to better understand their operations.
Amid allegations of other funding sources -- including the possible involvement of foreign actors like Iran, per a July statement by the U.S. Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines – this report will focus on tracking funding mainly from tax records and grant announcements.
We also know that crowdfunding has been a key component of protest and campus organizing, with local groups and individuals raising funds for students and activists through various platforms. This aspect is not covered in this report.
According to COE research and analysis of 990 filings and other publicly available information such as grant announcements and grantee lists, some of the aforementioned groups receive money from the same donors who prioritize anti-Israel projects as well as from progressive and left-of-center institutional funders who view anti-Israel advocacy and education as part of their broader intersectional organizing. A number of them received funding after the October 7 attack.
Frequent donors to these organizations prior to October 7, such as the Sparkplug Foundation, Kiblawi Foundation, Firedoll Foundation, Maximum Difference Foundation, and Tides Foundation are well known in the anti-Israel funding space. Others, such as the North Star Fund, use their money for various anti-Israel projects, but these do not represent the majority of their portfolio.
Some donors direct their money to specific groups through donor-advised funds – a source of institutional funding -- in some cases anonymously. There is nothing particularly nefarious about this practice, but it can be more difficult to ascertain the flow of money from a donor to an organization or project. One such group is the American Online Giving Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization with a donor-advised fund that dispensed about $500,000 cumulatively to Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) chapters and the CAIR Foundation in the fiscal year ending in March 2023, for example.
Some groups organizing the protests are fiscally sponsored projects of registered 501c3 organizations that offer their legal and tax-exempt status to the project (which would otherwise not have the capacity to operate) and help with administrative tasks like managing donations.
A prominent example of this kind of funding vehicle is WESPAC, a progressive non-profit organization that has served as a major node in the operations of groups like National SJP, PYM, and the Palestinian Feminist Collective.
Another example is the Alliance for Global Justice (AFJG), an Arizona-based organization that serves as a fiscal sponsor to several progressive and left-wing initiatives, including Samidoun and the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI). AFJG has been blocked from collecting donations via credit card companies since February 2023 following what it described as an “attack by right-wing media” on its financial ties to Samidoun, a radical anti-Zionist group linked to the U.S.-designated terror group the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
Major Funders of National Anti-Israel Organizations 2023-24
The Rockefeller Brothers Fund
The Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) is one of the best-known private foundations in the U.S. and a long-time funder of anti-Israel activism. RBF is distinct from the better-known Rockefeller Foundation, but its funding is sourced from the family. Both are headquartered in New York City.
JVP is a long-time grantee of RBF, and its funding constitutes some of the most significant institutional giving to the group. RBF has given JVP almost half a million dollars in recent years: $150,000 over 36 months in 2023, $165,000 over 24 months in 2021, and $175,000 over 24 months in 2019.
Palestine Legal is another notable long-time grantee of the fund. The group was awarded $240,000 from RBF over 36 months in 2023, $150,000 over 24 months in 2021, and $125,000 over 24 months in 2019.
Only a minority of RBF grants are awarded to organizations that do work related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. However, the former program director of Peacebuilding for RBF (who left the fund in 2018) explained in 2017 that the foundation sees the conflict as having great importance “because of the very deep and direct involvement of the U.S. government in Israel-Palestine.”
In a December 2023 statement, RBF wrote in defense of some of its anti-Israel grantees: “It is important not to conflate activism that criticizes the policies of the Israeli government with antisemitism or challenges to Israel's existence. Several of our partners take policy positions that are critical of the government of Israel, but each shares our conviction that all human life is precious and valued. The RBF believes that the only way to achieve justice and security for Israelis and Palestinians is to bring Israel’s 50-plus-year occupation of the Palestinian territories to an end and to ensure full human rights and civil liberties for all.”
Some of RBF’s grantees have taken positions opposing Israel’s existence and which devalue the lives of Israelis.
In the spring of 2024, as encampments and other more disruptive forms of protest swept U.S. university campuses, RBF put out another statement saying it has had “no direct involvement in the campus protests nor have we earmarked funds for them. Some RBF grantees have provided training, messaging, and/or legal support to student protest leaders. The Fund does not direct the activities of any grantee organizations.”
In 2022, the most recent year for which 990 records are available, RBF reported that it had $57,831,657 in revenue, $98,818,511 in expenses, and $1,312,862,160 in net assets.
The Lannan Foundation
The Lannan Foundation is a New Mexico-based family foundation established in 1960 that runs a number of programs “dedicated to cultural freedom, diversity, and creativity” and supports “projects that aid exceptional contemporary artists and writers, as well as inspired Native activists in rural indigenous communities.”
The foundation gave Palestine Legal $200,500 in 2023, $125,000 in 2022, and $100,400 in 2020, according to tax documents. JVP also received $500,000 from the organization in 2023.
Notably, the Lannan Foundation awarded Mohammed El-Kurd, a controversial writer and activist known for his promotion of antisemitic tropes, a Cultural Freedom fellowship in 2021.
In 2023, the foundation reported total assets of $115,085,829 and total giving of $12,065,775.
The Proteus Fund
The Proteus Fund is a philanthropy organization founded in 1994 and based in Amherst, MA that prioritizes progressive projects to “advance democracy, human rights, and peace.”
The fund claims in a blog post that by April 2024, it had disbursed a total of $700,000 to over 35 grantees in rapid response funds to "communities experiencing hate and suppression related to the crisis in Gaza.” In their end of year report, they claim In November, they opened up “rapid response grants ranging from $5,000 - $25,000 to U.S.-based community organizations.".
These included the Arab Resource and Organizing Center (AROC), a prominent Bay Area Arab and Muslim advocacy and education center that has historically been virulently anti-Israel; the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USPCR), a leader in the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and a fiscal sponsor of the Palestinian BDS National Committee; the Adalah Justice Project, an activist group that frequently partners with JVP and SJP; and PYM.
Since November 2023, the Proteus Fund said it prioritized projects centered on legal advocacy needs, advocacy efforts (such as ceasefire resolutions in municipal, state and federal settings), activist safety and security, and education and outreach.
The fund gave JVP $12,500 in 2022, according to a 2022 tax filing.
In 2022, the Proteus Fund reported total assets of $54,254,399 and total giving of $36,963,346.
The Foundation to Promote Open Society (FPOS) and the Open Society Institute
The Foundation to Promote Open Society (FPOS) and the Open Society Institute are major grantmaking foundations funded by liberal financier and billionaire George Soros.
These foundations have been accused of financially backing groups like SJP via the Tides Foundation. Though Tides does fund anti-Israel groups and other projects through WESPAC, the fiscal sponsor of SJP and others, there was no evidence available publicly to show that Soros’ foundations reportedly gave funds to Tides that were earmarked for such groups through WESPAC.
The Foundation to Promote Open Society gave roughly $20 million between 2016 and 2022 to the Tides Foundation, according to a tally of recorded grants based on tax documents. But most of the grants were earmarked for prison reform in the US, LGBTQ+ rights internationally, and civic engagement in the Asia-Pacific region. In some cases, recipients were not specified. The only public record of giving to WESPAC is $20,700 in 2012 in “Matching Gifts.”
Another allegation circulating in recent months has been that Soros’ foundations were financing the encampments that proliferated across the country in the spring of 2024. The foundation for this claim appears to be based on recurring donations from Open Society organizations to Education for Just Peace in the Middle East, the overarching organization for the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR), which provides training to campus activists. USCPR has paid campus fellowships, including a 2023 cohort that included some protestors, encampment organizers and alumni supporters. USCPR told the Washington Post these individuals were not being paid when the encampments started in the spring of 2024.
According to records, Education for Just Peace in the Middle East received funds from Soros’ foundations three times, for a total of $700,000 between 2018 and 2022.
Also of note is a reported grant of $225,000 to JVP and $100,000 to Dissenters (via The Center for Third World Organizing) in 2022 from the Foundation to Promote Open Society, according to tax records.
In 2022, Open Society Institute reported total assets of $5,271,338,522 and total giving of $221,888,671. Foundation to Promote Open Society reported total assets of $10,595,087,232 and total giving of $485,690,040.

Some of the Recipients
CAIR
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a Washington D.C.-based non-profit organization that seeks to position itself as the leading American Muslim civil rights organization in the U.S.
Founded in 1994, the organization ostensibly focuses on responding to the proliferation of anti-Muslim incidents and sentiment nationwide, but key CAIR leaders often traffic in openly antisemitic and anti-Zionist rhetoric. Some of CAIR’s leaders were previously involved in a now-defunct organization that openly supported Hamas and, according to the U.S. government, functioned as its “propaganda apparatus.”
Following Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel, many of CAIR’s leaders defended or justified the unprecedented terror assault, and argued it was a “legitimate right” of the Palestinians to “resist the occupation.”
Dissenters
Dissenters is a self-described “new national movement organization that is leading our generation to reclaim our resources from the war industry, reinvest in life-giving institutions, and repair collaborative relationships with the earth and people around the world.”
Formally launched in January 2020, the organization has seen the rapid emergence of new chapters around the U.S. With a focus on direct actions, the group has become a key co-organizer of anti-Israel events on campuses.
Jewish Voice for Peace
Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) is a radical anti-Israel and anti-Zionist activist group that advocates for the boycott of Israel and the eradication of Zionism.
JVP does not represent the mainstream Jewish community, which it views as bigoted for its association with Israel. JVP’s staunch anti-Zionist positions place it squarely in opposition to mainstream American Jews and Jews worldwide, most of whom view a connection with Israel as an integral part of their social, cultural or religious Jewish identities. JVP promulgates the view that Jews who identify even tangentially with Israel are motivated by white supremacy, Jewish racial chauvinism and religious supremacism.
National Students for Justice in Palestine
Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) refers to a network of anti-Zionist student groups on US university campuses that has justified terror attacks against Israel, particularly the Hamas-led October 7 onslaught, engages in antisemitic rhetoric and propaganda and is a leading campus organizer of Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaigns and anti-Israel protests on university campuses. It has been a central organizing node for the student encampments that proliferated across American universities and colleges in the spring and summer of 2024, amid a surge in antisemitic activity and sentiment on US college campuses.
SJP refers both to individual campus chapters and to National SJP (NSJP).
Palestine Legal
Palestine Legal is perhaps one of the most visible legal assistance organizations in the campus space. It provides legal aid and resources to students and community members who feel they have been persecuted for their Palestine advocacy. This ranges from pro-Palestinian solidarity to engaging in outright antisemitism. The organization has represented students in court, and before various government agencies.
Palestine Legal also offers a variety of “know your rights” sessions on campus which offer objectively useful overviews of student rights on campus. It also has a toolkit with a variety of resources for what to do if one is harassed or attacked for Palestinian advocacy. While not inherently problematic, these activities demonstrate that Palestine Legal is another node in the broader support network for Palestine activism on campus.
Samidoun
Samidoun, derived from the Arabic word for “steadfast,” is a self-described solidarity network for Palestinian inmates in Israeli prisons. The group emerged in 2011 following a coordinated hunger strike by Palestinian prisoners led by The Popular Front for The Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a designated terror group in the U.S., Israel, Canada, the U.K. and the European Union.
In 2021, Israel designated Samidoun a terror organization and an arm of the PFLP. Germany banned Samidoun's operations in October 2023, following the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel.
Samidoun’s leadership is based in Vancouver, Canada, and it maintains chapters in the U.S., Europe, Iran, and Brazil. Ascertaining its funding sources through public records in the U.S. is difficult. The group is blocked from accepting donations through some major credit card and financial services companies.
Samidoun praised the October 7 attack and openly engages in support of terrorism and “armed resistance.” It co-organizes and co-sponsors anti-Israel events in the U.S. and Canada.
U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USPCR)
The U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) aims to “provide resources and strategic support to the U.S.-based Palestine solidarity movement.” It is most widely known for its leadership in the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and is the fiscal sponsor of the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC).
Since the October 7 Hamas-led attack, USCPR has sponsored and co-sponsored several protests and rallies featuring concerning rhetoric, such as comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany, equating Zionism with fascism and white supremacy, and glorification of the intifada.
One of USCPR’s main post-10/7 stated objectives is to disrupt political events featuring pro-Israel actors. In February 2024, USCPR distributed a guide to “Escalating to Campaign Event Disruptions” which claimed that “No justice in Palestine = No peace for politicians.”
Founded in 2001 as The US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, it changed its name to USCPR in 2016.
United States Palestinian Community Network
USPCN (U.S. Palestinian Community Network) is a prominent and radical anti-Israel activist group founded in 2006 that has, on numerous occasions, expressed support for terror and promoted antisemitic tropes. The organization has chapters and members across the country, including in Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Los Angeles and the Bay Area. They oppose normalization of any kind with Israel or” Zionists.”
Their activities range from co-hosting rallies and demonstrations to social media persuasion campaigns and boycott campaigns. USPCN often partners with a variety of other anti-Zionist organizations, including Students for Justice in Palestine, (SJP) and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) for events and campaigns.
After greater scrutiny was paid to the connection between them and their fiscal sponsor, WESPAC, USPCN changed its donations options to go through a Venmo account, in lieu of a donations page.
Within Our Lifetime (WOL)
Within Our Lifetime (WOL) is a New York-based, radical anti-Israel organization that routinely expresses support for violence against Israel and calls for the abolition of Zionism.
Since Hamas’ brutal terror massacre on October 7, 2023, WOL and its co-founder and leader Nerdeen Kiswani have continued to share extreme anti-Zionist and antisemitic positions on social media and at anti-Israel protests as well as in webinars and reports.
Some of the most heinous antisemitic rhetoric and incidents seen in New York City since October 7 have been perpetrated by WOL supporters and members.
