We serve over 10,000 children every year and raise them to become thriving, successful adults. Migdal Ohr gives children the support and education they need to overcome socio-economic barriers and realize their full potential. Migdal Ohr was established in 1972 by Israel Prize Winner Rabbi Yitzchak Dovid Grossman to ensure that each of Israel's orphaned, abused, and neglected children would have a bright future, regardless of where they came from. Decades later, we remain fervently committed to that mission and dedicated to strengthening Israel's next generation from the ground up false false 5996021 5906630 The American Friends of Migdal Ohr (AFMO) raises essential funds to support the educational and social welfare programs of Migdal Ohr (MO) in Israel. Migdal Ohr serves more than 10,000 orphaned, impoverished, and underprivileged annually, providing a full continuum of care from infancy through adulthood. AFMO program service expenses consist of approved grants to Migdal Ohr institutions and initiatives in Israel. These funds directly support programs across three university-sized campuses the largest of which is in Migdal HaEmek, and over 160 youth clubs and centers operating nationwide. AFMO's support advances national-scale initiatives that empower Israel's underprivileged populations and build a stronger, more resilient future for the country. These are not overhead expenses for AFMO operations in New York, but direct program grants essential to Migdal Ohr's continued operation and growth in Israel. Migdal Ohr's programs are structured around three core pillars: Essentials: Housing, food, clothing, medical and dental care, therapies, and other personal necessities. Education: Academic instruction, enrichment, mentorship, vocational training, and counseling. Empowerment: Leadership development, civic engagement, and opportunities for advancement that help participants achieve independence and contribute meaningfully to Israeli society. Through these comprehensive programs, Migdal Ohr has produced tens of thousands of alumni who are serving in the army, participating in the workforce, and leading communities and public institutions across Israel. 5996021 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false true true false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 5 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false false X 26 25 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false CA CT FL IL NJ NY PA X X X ATARA SOLOW 2123973700 1 UNIVERSITY PLAZA DRIVE SUITE 203 Hackensack NJ 07601 Atara Solow Executive Director 40.0 0.0 X X 228600 0 43403 Michael Flaumenhaft Director of Development 40.0 0.0 X 150300 0 15229 Peni Landisi Finance & Operations Director 40.0 0.0 X 126600 0 15229 Sharon Haberman Chairperson 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Nathan Paul President 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Jeffrey Eisenberg Vice President 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Tony Fromer Vice President 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Gary Miller MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jordana Grunfeld Vice President 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Michael Kronenberg Treasurer 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Bryna Landes Secretary 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Steven Fink MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Brad Berger MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Adam Grunfeld MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Dr Yehuda Eliezri MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Howard Millendorf MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Fabia Preminger MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Dr Norman Saffra MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Laurie Lasher MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Gerald Seligsohn MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Louis Menaged MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Joe Rozehzadeh MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Tzvi Fishman MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Steven Starkman MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Tzvi Solomon Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Rick Barry MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 505500 0 73861 3 false true false 0 149001 7436002 0 7585003 0 30592 30592 0 0 0 0 0 0 247993 149001 247993 0 0 0 0 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 900099 6488 6488 6488 7622083 6488 30592 0 0 5906630 5906630 0 428831 289164 139667 0 162823 20042 142781 0 78051 32344 45707 48059 24510 23549 0 0 69480 69480 0 0 0 140658 37690 102968 336770 336770 88764 45271 43493 0 0 49508 25249 24259 89391 89391 0 0 0 0 3095 1578 1517 10453 5331 5122 DEVELOPMENT AND DONOR RELATED 59846 59846 EQUIPMENT RENTAL 12221 6233 5988 BANK AND CREDIT CARD FEES 132034 26407 105627 EVENT SUPPLIES AND OTHER EXPEN 38331 38331 7654945 5996021 583299 1075625 X 780558 1000262 1326845 1130810 86466 42747 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15059 8540 83747 78183 8659 5564 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2217587 2187923 13282 16480 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13282 16480 X 1496133 1614625 708172 556818 2204305 2171443 2217587 2187923 -32862 X X false true X true false X 10434512 10976207 10169572 7689238 7585003 46854532 0 0 10434512 10976207 10169572 7689238 7585003 46854532 8786287 38068245 10582 8164 17526 29511 30592 96375 0 6488 6488 46957395 0.81070 0.80995 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 83747 78183 5564 5564 0 0 X 7622083 7622083 7622083 7654945 7654945 7654945 PART X, LINE 2 American Friends of Migdal Ohr (AFMO) is a not-for-profit corporation exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
