• CAMERA Campus Activist Project (CCAP) - CAMERA

  The CAMERA Campus Activist Project (CCAP) is an exciting new student initiative aimed at helping to create and support pro-Israel student organizations on college campuses across the country. The goal is to enable like-minded students to sponsor educational events and speakers — as well as to respond to biased activity against Israel.

  
  CCAP works with fledgling or under-funded autonomous pro-Israel student organizations, and/or with individual students who wish to establish new pro-Israel organizations. Each CCAP student organization may receive up to $6000 of funding from CAMERA per academic year, independent of any funding received from other sources. The funds may be used for a variety of different activities that will provide the campus with an accurate portrayal of Israel and the Middle East.
  
  In addition, CAMERA staff members are available to advise students and organizations on all matters related to Israel activism, including event planning, group funding, advertising techniques, suggested speakers, research sources, balanced journalism, and strategies for countering anti-Israel activity.
