The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) is a political nonprofit headquartered in New York City that educates and advocates in support of Israel and the Jewish state. Established in 1897, its work aims to support Jewish people and Israel by countering antisemitic activity, lobbying in Washington, and addressing what it describes as anti-Israel bias in media. The organization also engages Jewish students across American campuses through programs aimed at developing Zionist leadership. ZOA Campus runs leadership programs for students, including a two-week Student Leadership Mission to Israel that travels throughout the country and includes meetings with Knesset members, journalists, and policy experts. The group has pursued civil rights complaints related to antisemitism in public schools, reflecting its broader advocacy on policy and legal fronts. A notable recent development is the appointment of Ilana Lax as Director of Marketing and Communications in August 2025.
