Antisemitism Grant Winners

B’nai B’rith Combatting Antisemitism Grant Inaugural Recipients Announced

B’nai B’rith is proud to announce the recipients of its inaugural Antisemitism Grants, established to support practical and impactful efforts to combat antisemitism and counter disinformation about Israel.

Each of the two successful applicants will receive $6,000, marking the start of an annual program designed to empower grassroots and digital initiatives in this vital space.

This new grant program is funded through the B’nai B’rith Future Fund, alongside surplus funds raised through community events such as the B’nai B’rith Human Rights Oration and the recent private screening of the film October 8.

The 2025 recipients are Lillian Kline for her grassroots advocacy initiative Project A, and Zara Cooper, digital strategist and creator of the Clammy Fraud Instagram platform, which exposes and challenges harmful online content.

“A grant of $6,000 provides vital support for Project A’s grassroots advocacy efforts, enabling us to mobilise volunteers, develop strategic campaigns, and amplify Jewish voices at a time when visibility and solidarity are more important than ever,” said Lillian. “Every contribution helps us protect our community and build bridges in the face of rising antisemitism.”

Zara Cooper, whose Clammy Fraud Instagram page has gained widespread recognition, said:

“The Clammy Fraud page plays a critical role in exposing and challenging online disinformation, hate campaigns, and coordinated digital abuse that often go unchecked. By publicly documenting harmful online behaviour, it empowers individuals and communities to recognise, report, and resist the misuse of digital platforms.

Funding support is vital to sustain and expand this work, allowing for better content moderation, improved data collection and documentation, and broader community education.”

This marks the first year of B’nai B’rith’s Antisemitism Grant Program, which aims to back creative, community-led responses to the complex and evolving challenges of antisemitism in today’s world.

“We are proud to launch this program and support Lillian and Zara as the inaugural recipients,” said Ellana Aarons, CEO of B’nai B’rith Victoria. “Their passion, innovation, and determination reflect the kind of leadership and activism our community needs.”

B’nai B’rith looks forward to following the progress of both projects over the coming months and sharing their impact with the broader community.
