01What it does

What Institute for Black Solidarity With Israel does

Mission

Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel (IBSI) is dedicated to strengthening the relationship between Israel and the Jewish people, and people of African descent through education and advocacy; condemns the Zionism is racism ideology; defends Israels right to live in peace with its Arab neighbors; and seeks to help cultivate a mutually beneficial Israel-Africa alliance.

Programs

On its FY2022 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.

In August 2022, we launched a 9 month program called Plan for Education, Advocacy & Community Engagement (PEACE) which is designed to teach young, influential Africans and Black Americans about the crucial Israel-Africa/Black-Jewish relationship. We vetted people from across the United States to participate in this unique program. These Ambassadors committed to monthly educational seminars, learning about the historic relationship between Africa and Israel, and Blacks and Jews. As part of the program, our Ambassadors participate in two international tours, South Africa in December 2022, and Israel in June 2023.

Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $213k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
