A: For many campuses, the delegitimization of Israel and prevalence of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign is a real concern. To this end, ICC has mobilized its network of partner organizations and professionals to collaborate on countering-BDS materials. These materials include case studies, documents, resources, and best practices guides for campus and community professionals, and students dealing with delegitimization of Israel. With numerous contributors, the ICC’s materials provide a comprehensive, user-friendly resource to assist in important efforts on campus. Check out our resources for countering delegitimization (link to the page) or give us a call. We’re here to help

A: The ICC’s Israel Advocacy Grant program is a bottom-up initiative designed to provide seed-money student-driven Israel advocacy initiatives that produce a more positive view of Israel on campus. Projects should stem from the unique environment of the particular campus, contain specific desired outcomes, and provide a strategy and specific mechanisms for measuring the outcomes. While grants may be awarded to support cultural engagement as a means to achieve an advocacy-related outcome, grants are not intended to support cultural engagement as an end in itself.The ICC offers Israel Advocacy Grants that are up to $7500 for a long-term initiative. Take a look at our grants page for more information.
