PrintAIPAC doubles earnings
WASHINGTON (JTA) -- AIPAC's fund-raising nearly doubled in four years.
Tax records show that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee raised $46.9 million in 2004, including $15.1 million for its affiliate, the American Israel Education Foundation, a charitable group that funds campus activities, seminars and missions to Israel by students, government officials and lawmakers.
By 2007, AIPAC showed $86 million in income, including $35.1 for the foundation.
Contributions to AIPAC began soaring after the eruption of the second Intifada in 2000 and the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in 2001.
In recent years, the lobby has raised funds for a new headquarters in downtown Washington, opened a year ago, and for expanded campus activities.
