A House Judiciary Committee memo says federal funds distributed during the Biden administration flowed through USAID, the State Department and nonprofit networks to organizations tied to anti-Israel activism and alleged terrorist-linked groups.

The House Judiciary Committee released a new memo Friday alleging that taxpayer funds distributed during the Biden administration were misused through federal grants and nonprofit networks that supported anti-Israel activism and organizations with alleged links to terrorist groups.
The committee memo says the funding moved through the U.S. Agency for International Development, the State Department and other federal agencies before reaching or indirectly supporting groups involved in anti-Israel protests and nongovernmental organizations identified by the committee as having troubling affiliations.

According to the memo, the committee found what it described as a broader pattern of weak oversight, neglect and abuse involving taxpayer-backed grants and tax-exempt organizations. The report focuses on U.S. and Israeli nonprofits, federal grantees and philanthropic networks that the committee says helped finance anti-Israel groups or organizations opposing the Israeli government.
The committee said the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, a U.S. nonprofit, provided nearly $4 million to groups it described as radical and anti-Israel, including some with alleged ties to terrorist organizations.
The memo also says the Tides Network, identified as both a USAID grantee and a tax-exempt organization, provided more than $1 million to anti-Israel groups, including organizations the committee said have links to terrorist groups.
Several other U.S. nonprofits were also named in the committee’s findings. The memo says the Jewish Communal Fund and its grantees, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors and PEF Israel Endowment Funds, may be violating requirements attached to section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status by funding groups the committee described as radical and anti-Israel.
The committee also criticized the Movement for Quality Government, an Israeli nonprofit, saying the organization failed to cooperate with the panel’s inquiry into its funding of NGOs opposed to the Israeli government.
Another organization, the Abraham Initiatives, was cited in connection with a 2023 audit. According to the memo, the Israeli nonprofit and U.S. government grantee failed to comply with anti-terrorism procedures.
The Friday memo follows an earlier July 2025 committee report that alleged the Biden administration provided grant funds to organizations that directly and indirectly supported judicial reform protests in Israel. The committee said those protests were aimed at undermining the Israeli government.
The latest memo expands the committee’s scrutiny from the earlier Israel-focused funding allegations to a wider network of federal grants, nonprofit intermediaries and tax-exempt organizations. The committee’s findings raise questions about whether federal agencies properly vetted recipients and subrecipients, whether taxpayer funds were adequately tracked after disbursement and whether tax-exempt nonprofits complied with legal restrictions while financing politically active groups overseas.
The committee framed the findings as part of a continuing investigation into Biden-era foreign assistance and nonprofit funding pipelines connected to Israel-related activism. It said federal agencies and outside organizations should face further examination over how grants were awarded, monitored and routed through partner organizations.
