The central organizing force for pro-Israel campus advocacy.
Students lead. ICC funds their ideas, trains them, and coordinates more than 40 pro-Israel organizations to stand behind them.
What we believe
This generation has decided to stand up.
- No student should have to hide their support for Israel.
- Antisemitism is as un-American as any other form of racism.
- America is stronger when it stands with Israel.
ICC trains pro-Israel students to run for student government, lead campus organizations, and build coalitions with students of diverse backgrounds.
Students plan the event. ICC helps fund it.
-
Israel Fest Students from across campus came out for a festival of Israeli culture in the central plaza, with student groups, falafel and a camel that stole the show. -
Spread Cream Cheese Not Hate Students handed out free bagels to classmates who signed a pledge against antisemitism and all other forms of hate, building bridges across campus. -
Mega Shabbat Students packed a hall for Shabbat dinner and heard two former hostages speak. Afterward, many asked how to get more involved. -
Mimouna Students marked Mimouna, the Moroccan Jewish celebration held as Passover ends, with food, music, henna, crafts and dancing, and guests from off campus joined in. -
TLV After Dark Students hosted a night of Israeli music and culture, with student DJs, a guest DJ from Israel, dancing and a photo booth. -
Yom Ha’atzmaut BBQ Students celebrated Israel’s Independence Day at a barbecue with homemade arayes, cupcakes decorated with Israeli flags, Israeli music and dancing.
Each one supported by an ICC microgrant.
In 2025-26, ICC awarded 697 microgrants to students on 167 campuses.
How ICC works
A professional team behind every student.
ICC is not organized like a traditional nonprofit. One team does it all, in real time: it sees a problem on a campus before it spreads to the next, funds and trains the students on the ground, and puts their case in front of the country.
- Sees problems early.A public campaign that starts on one campus usually heads for the next. ICC sees it coming, and the students on the next campus know before it arrives.
- Funds and trains the students on the ground.Regional directors on campus all school year. Microgrants for the events students plan. The Summit and the Fellowship for the students who lead.
- Puts their case in front of the country.Students publish op-eds and go on air in their own names. ICC’s own channels carry their case far beyond campus.
See what each team did last school year
No student faces a campaign alone.
Every known anti-Israel campaign on any campus gets a response, whether or not it reaches the national news. When a coordinated falsehood about Israel spreads online, ICC exposes it in public.
Support for Israel cannot belong to one party.
ICC shows up where the next generation of leaders in both parties is formed, so that the leaders of the next decade champion the U.S.-Israel relationship.
Three ways in.
- Funding Microgrants
Grants for events Jewish and pro-Israel students plan on campus: the room, the speaker, the food.
