Name:
Alan Levow
AIPAC Role:
Member of AIPAC's Board of Directors
Professional Profile/Associations:
AIPAC board member and Vice President of the American Israel Education Foundation (AIEF), AIPAC's charitable arm that sponsors congressional trips to Israel. In 2016, he served as Chair of the AIPAC Tomorrow Campaign, a planned giving initiative that allows donors to "invest" their estates in the future of U.S.-Israel relations through AIPAC's endowment. Co-founder and principal of Atlanta-based Crowne Partners, a luxury multifamily real estate development firm he established in 1984. Previously served as Director of JMB Realty Corporation's Southeastern Region Acquisition Office. Levow received his J.D. from Northwestern University, where he served on the Law Review Editorial Board and graduated cum laude, and his MBA from Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management. A major pro-Israel political donor, Levow contributed $45,000 to the Democratic Majority for Israel (DMFI) in 2021, funds that helped defeat progressive congressional candidate Nina Turner.
Accountability:
As a member of AIPAC's Board of Directors, Alan Levow bears individual legal responsibility for the organization's conduct. Under U.S. nonprofit law, board members hold fiduciary duties to ensure organizational compliance with applicable legal standards, implement oversight systems for core activities, and respond to credible information about organizational wrongdoing. In Stern v. Lucy Webb Hayes (1974), the federal district court held that nonprofit directors who fail to supervise organizational decisions breach their fiduciary obligations. In In re Lemington Home for the Aged (3d Cir. 2015), the Third Circuit upheld $2.25 million in damages against nonprofit directors who ignored red flags and failed to exercise reasonable oversight. The information in these profiles is drawn primarily from AIPAC's most recent IRS Form 990, supplemented by publicly available sources including news reports, official announcements, and public records. As a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, AIPAC is legally required to file Form 990 annually with the Internal Revenue Service, and these filings are public documents.
However, IRS regulations allow organizations up to eleven months after their fiscal year ends to submit these forms, meaning publicly available data typically lags by approximately one year. This inherent delay underscores why AIPAC—like most major organizations of its size and influence—should maintain a current, public-facing leadership page identifying its board members and senior executives. The absence of such transparency from AIPAC necessitates this project. We are committed to accuracy and will update these profiles as new information becomes available.
