PART V, LINE 4	INTENDED USES OF THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS TO HELP SUPPORT FRIENDS OF THE ISRAEL DEFENSE FORCES PROGRAM SERVICES. FIDF has updated the endowment funds schedule reported on Part V to properly include the value of all endowment funds. The beginning balance reported on the 2017 return reflects a recalculation of prior years to reflect this change. PART X, LINE 2 FIN 48 DISCLOSURE GUIDANCE IN THE AREA OF "ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES" UNDER FASB ASC 740, 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 STANDARD PROVIDES THAT THE TAX EFFECTS FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION CAN BE RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ONLY IF THE POSITION IS "MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT" TO BE SUSTAINED, IF THE POSITION WERE TO BE CHALLENGED BY A TAXING AUTHORITY. THE STANDARD ALSO PROVIDES GUIDANCE ON MEASUREMENT, CLASSIFICATION, INTEREST AND PENALTIES, AND DISCLOSURE.

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. TO BE ELIGIBLE, VETERANS MUST, AMONG OTHER CRITERIA, COME FROM A COMBAT OR COMBAT-SUPPORT UNIT AND A DISADVANTAGED SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE PREVENT THEM FROM PURSUING HIGHER EDUCATION. APPLICANTS' ELIGIBILITY IS DETERMINED BY FIDF IMPACT! STAFF THROUGH REVIEW OF RELEVANT DOCUMENTATION AND PERSONAL INTERVIEWS. TO MAINTAIN ELIGIBILITY, EACH SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT IS FURTHER REQUIRED TO COMPLETE 130 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE EVERY YEAR DURING THE FULL TERM OF THE SCHOLARSHIP AND MAINTAIN APPROPRIATE ACADEMIC STANDARDS. THIS IS MONITORED BY THE FIDF IMPACT! STAFF THROUGH COMMUNICATION WITH THE VARIOUS ACADEMIC INSTITUTES AND THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WHERE THE STUDENTS VOLUNTEER. TRANSFERS TO SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS ARE MADE 3-TIMES A YEAR AFTER VERIFICATION OF CONTINUED ELIGIBILITY.	ExplanationTxt

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.
