PART V, LINE 4	INTENDED USES OF THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS TO HELP SUPPORT FRIENDS OF THE ISRAEL DEFENSE FORCES PROGRAM SERVICES. PART X, LINE 2 FIN 48 DISCLOSURE FIDF follows guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the financial statements if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the techical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. FIDF is exempt from federal income tax under IRC section 501(c)(3), though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the Code. FIDF has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated business income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has a nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. FIDF has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. In addition, FIDF has not recorded a provision for income taxes as it has no material tax liability from unrelated business income activities.

Explanation	PROCEDURE FOR MONITORING THE USE OF GRANTS AND OTHER ASSISTANCE: Grants for projects and programs are made pursuant to a contract or memorandum which delineates the intended use of the funds by the grantee and the timetable of grant payments. Funds are disbursed on a very disciplined and controlled basis and only upon receipt of a transfer requisition from the grantee accompanied by supporting documentation of the expenses to be paid, where applicable. Such documentation includes invoices, construction progress reports, photos and/or videos, reports of program services rendered and similar evidence, depending on the matter on hand. FIDF staff reviews the documentation provided and, when satisfied with its completeness, authorizes release of the funds. Funds so released must be used by the grantee only for the specific purpose and not for any other purpose. FIDF maintains detailed records of what it has paid for and the balance of its commitment remaining to be paid at any point in time. In addition, FIDF personnel and its Israel based representatives periodically visit projects and programs in progress for a first hand assessment that the funds are being used as intended. FIDF IMPACT! SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM GRANTS FULL 4-YEAR SCHOLARSHIPS TO ISRAELI SOLDIERS WHO HAVE COMPLETED THEIR MILITARY SERVICE.

HOUSING ALLOWANCE FIDFs National Directors are IDF Major Generals who have recently retired from active service after long and distinguished careers. Because it is customary for senior IDF officers serving in the United States to receive a housing allowance, the Compensation Committee determined that it was essential to provide this allowance in order to secure the services of a senior (reserve) major general. The cost of this taxable allowance is included in the total compensation reported. TAX INDEMNIFICATION AND GROSS-UP PAYMENTS TAX INDEMNIFICATION AND GROSS UP OF PAYMENTS ARE PROVIDED TO THE NATIONAL DIRECTOR IN RELATION TO THE HOUSING ALLOWANCE. THIS WAS TREATED AS A TAXABLE BENEFIT. ADDITIONAL GROSS-UP PAYMENTS WERE MADE FOR THE FORMER CFO'S HEALTH BENEFITS. THIS WAS TREATED AS A TAXABLE BENEFIT. PART I, LINE 5A BONUS CONTINGENT ON REVENUE FIDF's National Director's bonus is contingent on the amount of revenue for the year.

NON-FIXED PAYMENTS Bonuses are paid based on successful completion of individual/regional/organizational wide strategic and operational goals or based on taking on additional responsibilities or roles. All non-fixed payments have been included in Part VII and Schedule J compensation reporting.

FORM 990, PART III - PROGRAM SERVICE, LINE 4A	Wellbeing and Recreational Programs (Continued) The Lone Soldiers Program ensures Lone Soldiers never feel truly alone by enabling FIDF to act as a second family for soldiers who have no immediate family in Israel during their military service. FIDF also sponsors flights for lone combat soldiers, enabling them to visit their families in their home countries during their period of service. During 2018, FIDF provided approximately $5.5 million to assist over 3,500 lone soldiers through these programs. The Legacy Program provides comfort and care by helping those families who have suffered a devastating loss of a loved one fallen during military service. Through recreational vacations in Israel with activities such as workshops, shows, excursions, entertainment by popular Israeli artists, sports activities, and more, FIDF stands united by the side of these beloved families through their lives. The program also sponsors trips to the United States for children and siblings of fallen soldiers who share the experience of summer camp in the U.S. with American children of similar age. During 2018, FIDF provided approximately $1.4 million for such activities, aiding over 5,790 members of bereaved families, including trips to the United States for more than 150 children of various ages. The Spirit/Rest and Recreation Program sponsors various units with wellbeing needs such as fun days, trips and sports events and wellbeing equipment, and provides a week of rest and recuperation for active-duty combat units. Soldiers enjoy a week of R&R at recreation centers which are fully equipped with lodging and dining facilities, swimming pools, fitness rooms, and other amenities. During 2018, FIDF provided approximately $2.9 million for such activities, sponsoring 39 weeks of such programs for a total of about 18,500 soldiers. The Adopt a Brigade Program provides support for the DIGNITY Program, Spirit/Rest and Recreation Program, the Lone Soldiers Program and general wellbeing activities of the designated brigades. During 2018, FIDF provided approximately $5.1 million to sponsor the general wellbeing needs of the 10 brigades adopted by FIDF (approximately 37,500 soldiers). The Adopt a Battalion Program provides year-long recreational activities for designated battalions. During 2018, FIDF provided approximately $1.4 million to sponsor ceremonies, trips and other wellbeing activities for the 70 battalions adopted by FIDF (approximately 24,500 soldiers). The Wounded Veterans Program offered a second chance at a life without limitations in 2018 with approximately $4.8 million to sponsor activities supporting over 910 wounded veterans. The Spiritual Needs Program, in cooperation with the IDF rabbinate, provides for Judaica and ritual articles, holiday celebrations and activities and other educational and social activities. During 2018, FIDF provided approximately $3.9 million to sponsor such articles and activities.
FORM 990, PART III - PROGRAM SERVICE, LINE 4B	Educational and Scholarship Programs (Continued) To be eligible, veterans must come from a combat or combat-support unit and a disadvantaged socioeconomic background. Each scholarship recipient is required to complete 130 hours of community service every year during the full term of the scholarship. FIDF partners with 20 organizations which empower the students to help their communities and improve their environment. In the 2018-2019 academic year FIDF was able to fund approximately 4,580 scholarships of college or university study. In 2018 FIDF had granted approximately $16.9 million of scholarship assistance. During 2018, FIDF also sponsored approximately $5.8 million of educational programs which provide for a successful continuum from high school to higher education, or for soldiers to enter directly into the job market.
