About
The Republican Jewish Coalition is a political action committee and prominent pro-Israel conservative advocacy group founded in 1985. It promotes pro-Israel policies and Republican support among Jewish Americans, mobilizing Jewish support for Republican candidates and policies, particularly those favorable to Israel. While bipartisan in nature, it is Republican-leaning and conservative, targeting Jewish Republican voters and donors and working to advance pro-Israel policies within the GOP. The organization is led by CEO Matt Brooks and has been funded by Sheldon Adelson, who served on its board and was its primary financial benefactor.

Funds: Republican Jewish Coalition → MAGA Action
According to the RJC's 2023 Form 990, the organization made a $275,000 grant to MAGA Action. This direct financial flow from a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization to a political action committee represents a significant and strategic deployment of funds to support Trump-aligned political activities, likely overlapping with RJC's pro-Israel and domestic policy goals.
