Gregory Ross is one of the incorporators of the Clarion Fund, which shared an address with Aish HaTorah in New York City. Prior to his role at the organization, he worked as a fundraiser for Aish HaTorah International, as listed on a June 2007 federal election contribution form. He served as Director of Communications at Clarion Fund during the 2008 Obsession distribution campaign. As the organization's spokesperson, Ross defended the distribution of films like Obsession and The Third Jihad, stating that the campaigns cost millions and aimed to raise awareness about radical Islam, while refusing to disclose donors until required by law. He denied formal ties between Clarion Fund and Aish HaTorah despite overlapping personnel.
