| formation = | status = Political action committee | purpose = Israel lobby in the United States | headquarters = Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey | website = NORPAC is a bipartisan, multi-candidate political action committee (PAC) working to strengthen United States-Israel relations. NORPAC has spent the past 30 years building deep ties with candidates for the US House and Senate who advance the alliance between the United States and Israel. Together with a donor network from across the country, NORPAC provides financial, organizational, and educational support for candidates. NORPAC is volunteer-founded and led, with funds going directly to pro-Israel candidates.
Supported issues
Each year, before its annual Mission to Washington, NORPAC selects 5 issues or bills it will discuss that year, including:
- Foreign Aid to Israel
- IFSA, the Iran Freedom Support Act (H.R.282 /S.333 ), which imposes sanctions on Iran in response to nuclear activity.
- USIECA, the US-Israel Energy Cooperation Act (H.R.2730 /S.1862), which supports joint alternative energy research.
- PATA, the Palestinian Anti-Terror Act (H.R.4861 /S.2370), which restricts aid to the Hamas-dominated Palestinian Authority (while still allowing humanitarian aid) unless certain actions opposing terror are taken.
- The Saudi Arabia Accountability Act (H.R.2037 /S.1171), which imposes sanctions on Saudi Arabia unless it clearly shuts down terrorist organizations within the country and ends support for such organizations outside the country.
Activities

Each year, NORPAC sends a group of active members to meet with Senators and Members of Congress to discuss the U.S.-Israel relationship. The mission includes up to 1,000 attendees and meets with the majority of congress.
