Muslim Institute

According to its own account:
:The Muslim Institute London, is the UK's well respected and oldest Muslim think-tank. The Institute was established in 1973 by a group of academics and activists to revive the tradition of scholarship in Muslim society. The group was headed by Dr. Kalim Siddiqui marhum. He, together with a small preparatory committee, organised seminars and courses to highlight the need to counter stagnation and produce problem-solving research in the fields of political and economic organization and social engineering... The Institute is now re-embarking to create a genuine forum of debate and discussion. The purpose of the Institute's website is to talk about the problems constructively and to celebrate whatever deserves to be celebrated. Our aspiration is to provide a balanced view of developments taking place around us. We propose to monitor active websites, blogs and printed material to give our users a more informed view of the world. We shall also highlight any progress Muslims themselves are making to make the world a plural, tolerant and equitable place to live in.Muslim Institute About Us, accessed 2 May 2008

===StandWithUS event in his honour===
On December 8, 2013, the pro-Israel group StandWithUs honored the San Francisco Bay Area entrepreneur and philanthropist as part of its annual Festival of Lights gala. The event, which recognized Zimmerman’s financial contributions to the organization, took place at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza hotel. Attendees included Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Bret Stephens of the Wall Street Journal and David Siegel, Israeli consul general in Los Angeles.
The article reporting on it read: 'Zimmerman [..]has made invaluable contributions to StandWithUs, funding programs that, among other things, have put “a human face on the [Israel Defense Forces],” said the organization’s CEO, Roz Rothstein'. The event was a way to celebrate those contributions, but also helped StandWithUs raise money for the coming year. This year, it brought in approximately $2.5 million to support 2014 programming, Rothstein said. The event was sponsored by Bruce Lederman and Ellie Lederman, and Debbie Saidoff and Naty Saidoff. Comedian Elon Gold served as emcee, and musicians Ari Lesser and Ronny Weinreich performed.

Two of the cental questions that the conference was designed to answer were as follows:
:1) Does the concept of the Greater Middle East, a shorthand for the vast geographical area from the Maghreb in the west to the borders of Pakistan in the east, actually make sense?
:2) Is the involvement of a Euro–Atlantic military alliance in the numerous conflicts, crises and transformation processes of a small part of Africa and a large part of Asia at all relevant, thinkable and/or desirable?NATO and the Greater Middle East, NATO GME Report, Prague Security Studies Institute, Accessed 15-May-2009

NCSY

NCSY (formerly known as the National Conference of Synagogue Youth) is a Jewish youth group under the auspices of the Orthodox Union, which is Zionist and a member of the American Zionist Movement. Its operations include Jewish-inspired after-school programs; summer programs in Israel, Europe, and the United States; weekend programming, shabbatons, retreats, and regionals; Israel advocacy training; and disaster relief missions known as chesed (kindness) trips.NCSY Background, Orthodox Union, 2000 NCSY also has an alumni organization on campuses across North America. 
== History ==
In 1959, NCSY hired Rabbi Pinchas Stolper as the first National Director in the United States.
During the social upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s, the Orthodox youth of NCSY opposed social change, choosing instead to emphasize religious tradition. In this period, at least one NCSY chapter took public action on this point, passing a resolution rejecting marijuana and other drugs as a violation of Jewish law. At the 1971 NCSY international convention, delegates passed resolutions in this vein, calling for members to "forge a social revolution with Torah principles."
According to the Orthodox sociologist Chaim Waxman, there has been an increase in Haredi influence on NCSY since 2012. Waxman based this on NCSY's own sociological self-study.Nathalie Friedman, Faithful Youth: A Study of the National Conference of Synagogue Youth (New York: National Conference of Synagogue Youth, 1998).

NGO Watch

NGO Watch was a right-wing lobby group launched in June 2003 (defunct as of 2007) by the American Enterprise Institute and Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies that lobbies to diminish government support for NGOs.
As of March 2009 its old website, www.ngowatch.org, is redirected to www.globalgovernancewatch.org. The organization called Global Governance Watch appears from the website to be a second incarnation of NGO Watch. 
==Right Wing Connections==
To coincide with the launch of NGO Watch, the AEI co-hosted a conference called "We're Not from the Government, But We're Here to Help You - Nongovernmental Organizations: The Growing Power of an Unelected Few" with the right-wing think tank, the Institute of Public Affairs in Australia.
The list of speakers shows some of the interconnections of key individuals working against the environmental movement and other progressive NGOs across the globe. Speakers from other right-wing think tanks included: 
*John Fonte - Hudson Institute 
*Gary Johns and Mike Nahan - Institute of Public Affairs 
*Fred Smith, - Competitive Enterprise Institute 
*David Riggs - Capital Research Center that runs www.greenwatch. 
Others of note were Jeremy Rabkin, from Cornell University, and AEI academic, Roger Bate, an AEI fellow and Jon Entine an AEI Fellow.
==Lobbying Success==
The conference and IPA's activities are obviously having an effect. In September 2003, the Christian Science Monitor reported how "Spurred by conservative rumblings over the growing clout of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), the Australian government is taking a closer look at such groups' activities at home and abroad". The article noted how the investigation "could potentially cut off some charities from further government access, funding, or tax breaks, experts say"[2].
The month before, in July 2003, the Australian Treasurer, Peter Costello released draft legislation threatening to remove tax exemption status from NGOs if they were deemed to be more involved in political lobbying and advocacy than in community work. It was a move widely condemned as a bid by the Government to silence its most strident critics[3].
The result is that suddenly the two primary sources of funding for NGOs - tax deductible donations and government grants or payments for carrying out consultative work - are under simultaneous attack.
