FORM 990, PART III, LINES 4A - 4D The International Fellowship of Christians & Jews, Inc. (IFCJ) funds humanitarian aid to the needy in Israel and in Jewish communities around the world, promotes prayer on behalf of the Jewish state, and provides resources that help build bridges of understanding between Christians and Jews. Through the generosity of its donors, IFCJ has provided resources to help Jews from around the world escape poverty and anti-Semitism by making Aliyah (immigration to Israel). IFCJs support of soup kitchens, orphanages, homeless shelters, and other programs of humanitarian aid provides relief to impoverished and disadvantaged Jews in Israel and the former Soviet Union. IFCJs funded emergency kit distribution and support for security for Jewish institutions around the world, help protect the Jewish state and the Jewish people from anti-Semitism, terrors, and war. IFCJ also creates and distributes teaching material that helps Christians learn about the Jewish roots of their faith and deepen their ties with Israel and her people. IFCJ has an affiliated organization in Israel, HaKeren LYedidut (the Amutah) that operates as the Israeli representative of the Fellowship. The activities include the direct operation of projects relating to Aliyah and absorption, poverty, welfare and security. The Amutah also provides recommendations to fund organizations that support impoverished Jews in the former Soviet Union. The Amutah receives substantial funding from IFCJ. As a leading not for profit in Israel, the Amutah also receives funding from other sources including a related organization in Canada, the Ministry of Welfare in Israel and individual donations from donors in Israel, which enables IFCJ through the Amutah to increase the scope of its services. In 2019, IFCJ assisted over 1.7 million people in need through projects that provide security, help alleviate poverty, and support Aliyah (immigration to Israel). This includes supplying basic aid in the form of food, medication, home visits, help with winter heating, and more to 61,604 elderly and Holocaust survivors in Israel; emergency funds, food assistance, and other support to 97,940 people living in impoverished families in Israel; funding food, clothing, basic needs, shelters, and boarding schools and orphanages for 18,333 children and youth at risk in Israel; and providing food cards, academic scholarships, pre-military training, and other aid to 12,410 members of Israels Arab, Bedouin, Christian, and Druze minorities. Our security programs benefited 259,469 Israeli soldiers with emergency funds, vouchers for the purchase of necessities, and other aid; and benefited 6,123 needy people through programs that provide rehabilitation to widows, orphans, and wounded soldiers, help fortify and equip hospitals targeted by terrorist attacks, and more. IFCJ provided Aliyah (immigration)-related assistance to 5,385 people and gave klitah (resettlement) assistance in the form of pre-military training, education and career counseling, Hebrew language lessons, and more to 19,569 olim (immigrants). Outside of Israel, in the former Soviet Union and Morocco, IFCJ provided aid to 95,367 impoverished elderly Jews and Holocaust survivors and 119,269 children and families. IFCJ also provided added security for Jewish schools, synagogues, and community centers throughout the world that benefitted 934,769 people. In addition, IFCJ provided food, medicine, and other basic needs for 20,780 Christian and Druze victims of terror in Jordan.
