DURING THE YEAR, CORPS MEMBERS LIVE TOGETHER AND PARTICIPATE IN WEEKLY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, FACILITATED BY LOCAL EXPERTS, EDUCATORS, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS. OVER THE PAST SIXTEEN YEARS, AVODAH CORPS MEMBERS HAVE DIRECTLY IMPROVED THE LIVES OF MORE THAN 420,000 INDIVIDUALS AND ADDED AN ESTIMATED $11.3 MILLION IN STAFFING CAPACITY TO OUR PARTNER AGENCIES, SUPPORT THAT IS CRITICAL AT A TIME WHEN NONPROFITS SERVING THE POOR FACE RECORD HIGH POVERTY RATES, INCREASED DEMAND FOR SERVICES, AND REDUCED FUNDING.BEYOND OUR PARTNER AGENCIES, AVODAH HAS A DEEPLY TRANSFORMATIVE IMPACT ON OUR SERVICE CORPS PARTICIPANTS. THERE ARE NEARLY 600 AVODAH ALUMNI LIVING ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. IN A RECENT STUDY OF OUR ALUMNI NETWORK, 75% OF AVODAH ALUMNI SAID THAT THEIR CURRENT JOB INVOLVES ANTIPOVERTY OR SOCIAL JUSTICE WORK, AND 85% REPORTED "FINDING THEIR PLACE IN THE JEWISH COMMUNITY" THROUGH AVODAH.WHILE WE CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN OUR ESTABLISHED SERVICE CORPS PROGRAM MODEL, AVODAH RECENTLY EXPANDED OUR EFFORTS TO ENABLE US TO REACH EXPONENTIALLY MORE YOUNG JEWISH ADULTS EACH YEAR. THE AVODAH FELLOWSHIP, A NEW PROGRAM WHICH LAUNCHED IN NEW YORK CITY IN JANUARY 2014, BRINGS TOGETHER YOUNG JEWISH ADULTS CURRENTLY WORKING IN ANTIPOVERTY FIELDS FOR LEARNING, MENTORING AND COMMUNITY-BUILDING. THE FELLOWSHIP INCLUDES: (A) TRAININGS AND WORKSHOPS EACH MONTH DESIGNED TO PROVIDE FELLOWS WITH LEADERSHIP SKILL BUILDING TO ENHANCE THEIR EFFECTIVENESS IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL FIELDS, NETWORKS AND RESOURCES TO ENABLE THEM TO EMERGE AS LEADERS OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY'S SOCIAL JUSTICE EFFORTS, AND A SOLID FOUNDATION OF JEWISH TRADITION AND THOUGHT FOCUSED ON THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN JUDAISM AND SOCIAL JUSTICE; (B) ONGOING MENTORSHIP, INCLUDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR FELLOWS TO WORK THROUGH PROFESSIONAL CHALLENGES, BUILD ON STRENGTHS AND EXPLORE CAREER PATH OPTIONS; AND (C) MULTI-DAY RETREATS, DESIGNED TO DEVELOP COMMON LANGUAGE AND SHARED PURPOSE, DEEPEN TIES BETWEEN FELLOWS AND HELP PARTICIPANTS PLAN THEIR NEXT STEPS AS LEADERS COMMITTED TO LEADING THE JEWISH COMMUNITIES ANTIPOVERTY EFFORTS.ONCE THEIR INITIAL PROGRAM EXPERIENCE IS COMPLETE, AVODAH OFFERS OUR ALUMNI ONGOING TRAINING AND SUPPORT THROUGH TARGETED PROGRAMMING AND NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES TO SUPPORT THEIR WORK AS JEWISH SOCIAL JUSTICE LEADERS. 1967631 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 37 0 1 32 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 17 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 NY DC IL LA X X SUE CARDUNER 2125457759 45 WEST 36TH STREET 8TH FLOOR NEW YORK NY 10018 STEVEN DOW 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DEBBIE GOLDMAN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JONATHAN SPRINGER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 EUGENE SOFER 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEVEN KOPPEL 1.00 X 0 0 0 JACQUELINE MONDROS 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOY LEVITT 1.00 X 0 0 0 BENETTA MANSFIELD 1.00 X 0 0 0 LORI GREY 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALISON HIRSH 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JESSICA POLANSKY 1.00 X 0 0 0 KELLY VISELMAN 1.00 X 0 0 0 SAUL SCHAPIRO 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARGARET O'CONNOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LORI COHEN 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANGELA BUCHDAHL 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN CARDUNER 50.00 X 72866 0 3245 MARILYN SNEIDERMAN 50.00 X 135066 0 22500 207932 0 25745 1 0 1 0 0 141231 2522968 2664199 PLACEMENT FEES 900099 135500 135500 135500 528 528 296285 0 296285 296285 296285 55397 141231 55397 0 ALUMNI RETREAT 900099 12655 12655 OTHER INCOME 900099 9594 9594 22249 3118761 454034 0 528 X 242068 139975 62695 39398 833318 707292 46028 79998 24508 18381 2696 3431 110945 93397 11069 6479 81302 60977 8943 11382 297891 100865 177476 19550 8291 3475 456 4360 40383 28782 4999 6602 18023 8741 2931 6351 597890 562816 17924 17150 14295 12468 194 1633 10599 3714 6885 13934 12874 535 525 PURSUE/ALUMNI PROGAMMAT 74566 74566 PROGRAM AWARDS AND STIP 48080 48080 WEEKLY AND SUNDAY PROGR 37167 37167 PARTICIPANT ORIENTATION 33813 33813 63431 20248 7195 35988 2550504 1967631 350026 232847 247430 370113 2139 1999 596101 1115937 26000 18655 37753 34730 87834 75989 22442 11845 10823 2789 141609 150128 50135 48100 1134432 1754296 113125 131561 136500 115250 0 50000 249625 296811 X 395568 393537 489239 1063948 884807 1457485 1134432 1754296 X 568257 4421 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1861500 1884408 1465655 1884836 2664199 9760598 1861500 1884408 1465655 1884836 2664199 9760598 1847507 7913091 3242 870 1163 735 528 6538 258363 245076 224042 265805 318534 1311820 11078956 0.71420 0.72330 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: OTHER INCOME - 2008 AMOUNT: $ 28,863. 2009 AMOUNT: $ 6,921. 2010 AMOUNT: $ 11,872. 2011 AMOUNT: $ 8,745. 2012 AMOUNT: $ 22,249.
