The Exigent Foundation (EF) is a pro-Israel organization that has taken dozens of Canadian journalists and others on sponsored trips since 2024.
EF was co-founded in March 2024 by Larry Maher, Georganne Burke and Vivian Bercovici.
Maher describes himself as “an entrepreneur in the construction and real estate industries.” He is listed as the president of Maher Construction.
Burke is a senior vice-president at the Pathway Group consulting firm, where she is described as “a seasoned veteran of political activities in the United States and Canada” who “spent the past ten years in a variety of roles with the Conservative Party of Canada, and in the offices of ministers and MPs” and is “the Chapter Lead for Republicans Overseas in Canada.”
Bercovici is a former Canadian ambassador to Israel who went on to work for Black Cube, a private Israeli intelligence firm described by the CBC as “a controversial private sector company composed of ex-members of the Mossad and other Israeli intelligence agencies.” Bercovici stepped down as an EF director in November 2024.
