Under this guidance, The Fellowship may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of The Fellowship, and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions during the reporting periods covered by these financial statements. The Fellowship is exempt from federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). Accordingly, no provision for such taxes has been recognized in these financial statements. The Fellowship files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and a related return in the State of Illinois. Tax returns filed by The Fellowship generally are subject to examination by U.S. and state taxing authorities for years after 2007. 1 Middle East and North Africa 1 20 See Schedule F, Part V 2569794 North America 1 2 See Schedule F, Part V 21781 North America 0 0 Grants to recipients located in region 800000 Middle East and North Africa 0 0 Grants to recipients located in region 34177000 Russia & the Newly Independent States 0 0 Grants to recipients located in region 5755000 Europe (Including Iceland & Greenland) 0 0 Grants to recipients located in region 150000 2 22 0 0 2 22 43473575 0 43473575 X North America Education & welfare of Jewish students 800000 Wire Transfer Middle East and North Africa Assist needy children with summer camp 27000 Wire Transfer Middle East and North Africa Assist Jews with the relocation to Israel, training, food and medical supplies 30950000 Wire Transfer Middle East and North Africa Heating for the elder 850000 Wire Transfer Russia & the Newly Independent States Assist needy Jewish children in the Former Soviet Union with food, clothing, and medical needs 5755000 Wire Transfer Middle East and North Africa Support Aliyah programs - providing security for Jewish people 2350000 Wire Transfer Europe (Including Iceland & Greenland) World ORT 150000 Wire Transfer 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 Procedure for Monitoring Grants Outside the U.S.: Schedule F, Part I, Line 2: All grants are disbursed for specific programs that conform with IFCJ's charitable purposes.
