Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) is a U.S.-based political organization, which refers to itself as the “Jewish wing” of the Palestinian solidarity movement. JVP provides the façade of Jewish support for BDS and other forms of demonization, including on university campuses and in churches, while also seeking to “drive a wedge” within the American Jewish community and generate polarization over Israel.

Jewish Voice for Peace is not transparent about its funding sources. Limited financial information is available through public IRS documents, which report total income of $3,959,130 in FY2021 (July 2021-June 2022; latest available), $2,882,791 in FY2020, and $3,332,837 in FY2019.

For 2019-2021, in total, NGO Monitor was able to identify $3,395,329 in donations and grants to JVP. Donors include private foundations that disburse funds at the discretion of directors, as well as foundations that act as conduits for private giving (“donor advised”). Most of the information for 2022 is not currently available, but NGO Monitor found $48,700 (many nonprofits have not yet published their financial statements for that year).

In 2019-2021, the largest known private donations were provided by:

  • Kaphan Foundation ($441,510)
    • The Kaphan Foundation was established by Sheldon J. Kaphan. It “primarily funds grantmaking related to policy and civic action, digital rights, education and youth, the environment, health, and global causes.”
    • Kaphan has also provided funding for the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), an ideological NGO that promotes demonization of Israel. CCR is active in lawfare suits against Israel and Israeli officials;, promotes BDS campaigns; urges the U.S. government to stop providing military aid to Israel; and repeatedly accuses Israel of  “war crimes,” “crimes against humanity,” and other such allegations.
  • Rockefeller Brothers Fund ($340,000)
  • Quitiplas Foundation ($200,000)
    • Quitiplas Foundation is registered in Wilmington, Delaware.
    • The Foundation only lists one employee, Thomas M Scruggs Jr., who claims to have “extensive experience in community media and leftist organizing.”
  • Matthew G Krane Foundation ($198,000)
    • The grants to JVP appear to be the only major donation by the foundation in 2019-2021.
    • In 2011, Krane was sentenced to 32-months in prison “in connection with a fraudulent tax shelter scheme.”
  • Open Society Policy Center ($150,000)
  • Vivian & Paul Olum Charitable Foundation ($117,500)
