Desc	Wellbeing and Recreational Programs - The Dignity Program eases the burden by providing economic relief for soldiers who are in financial distress through the provision of cash subsidies, basic furniture and home appliances, holiday gift packages, food vouchers, and other assistance to their families. During 2016, FIDF provided approximately $4.1 million for such assistance to about 8,000 soldiers. 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 2016, FIDF provided approximately $4.1 million to assist over 2,800 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 of fallen soldiers who share the experience of summer camp in the U.S. with American children of similar age. During 2016, FIDF provided approximately $0.7 million for such activities, aiding over 1,300 members of bereaved families, including trips to the United States for approximately 40 children of various ages. The Spirit Program 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 2016, FIDF provided approximately $2 million for such activities, sponsoring 33 weeks of such programs for a total of about 15,700 soldiers. The Rest and Recreation Program sponsors various units with wellbeing gifts such as fleeces, hats, and other personal items, as well as fun days, trips and sports events. During 2016, FIDF sponsored such wellbeing needs with approximately $0.6 million. The Adopt a Brigade Program provides support for the DIGNITY Program, SPIRIT Program, the Lone Soldiers Program and general wellbeing activities of the designated brigades. During 2016, FIDF provided approximately $2.3 million to sponsor the general wellbeing needs of the 8 brigades adopted by FIDF (approximately 30,000 soldiers). The Adopt a Battalion Program provides year-long recreational activities for designated battalions. During 2016, FIDF provided approximately $1.6 million to sponsor ceremonies, trips and other wellbeing activities for the 68 battalions adopted by FIDF (approximately 23,000 soldiers). The Wounded Veterans Program offered a second chance at a life without limitations in 2016 with approximately $3.5 million to sponsor activities supporting over 700 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 2016, FIDF provided approximately $4.3 million to sponsor such articles and activities.	Desc

Desc	Educational and Scholarship Programs The FIDF IMPACT! Scholarship Program grants full 4-year scholarships to Israeli soldiers who have completed their military service. The personal nature of the program enables sponsors to directly see the "impact" of their donations on veterans' lives, and offers the opportunity to build relationships which last way beyond the completion of the recipient's studies. To be eligible, veterans must come from a combat or combat-support unit and a disadvantaged socioeconomic background that prevents them from pursuing higher education. Each scholarship recipient is required to complete 130 hours of community service every year during the full term of the scholarship. FIDF partners with 17 organizations which empower the students to help their communities and improve their environment. During 2016, FIDF was able to fund approximately 4,000 scholarships for the 2016-2017 academic year of college or university study representing approximately $13.9 million of scholarship assistance. In 2016, FIDF also sponsored approximately $6.4 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. These programs utilize seminars, workshops, discussion groups and field trips to also assist new immigrant soldiers in their assimilation process, provide enrichment opportunities to soldiers with special needs, and develop educational resources. During 2016, about 10,400 soldiers participated in such activities sponsored by FIDF.	Desc

Desc	Construction Programs FIDF helps provide a 'home away from home' by sponsoring the construction, refurbishment and maintenance of recreation and sports centers, cultural and educational facilities, synagogues, memorial rooms, auditoriums, and soldier recreational homes for soldiers throughout Israel. These facilities range from individual structures to large wellbeing complexes. FIDF also sponsors the construction and renovation of smaller projects and semi-permanent facilities, such as social clubs, and synagogues that soldiers can use everywhere. Construction activity during 2016 was as follows: 8 construction projects were completed, with a total budget of approximately $23.5 million, 8 additional projects were under construction, with a total budget of approximately $5.1 million, and 7 projects were in the design and bidding stage, with a total budget of approximately $23.8 million. In addition, 62 smaller facilities renovation and refurbishment projects were completed, with a total budget of approximately $2 million.	Desc

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 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. The years ended December 31 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 remain open to audit for both federal and state purposes. FIDF has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income, if any; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and, to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions.

Form And Line Reference	Part I, Line 2	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
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

ExplanationExplanationTxt

Part I, Line 1A

Housing Allowance FIDF's National Directors are Israel Defense Forces (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.

Part I, Line 7

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.

Explanation	Purpose of the Receivable FIDF provides the National Director and CEO with an housing allowance, which is grossed-up for taxes based on a projected tax rate. During 2016, FIDF paid a tax advance to account for potential insufficient gross-up of the housing allowance, which was recorded as a receivable. Once final tax calculations were made, the corrected amount was posted as additional compensation and the balance was repaid to FIDF by the National Director and CEO in 2017.	ExplanationTxt
