DescriptionTaglit-Birthright Israel - The Foundation provides a gift of first time, peer group, educational trips to Israel for Jewish young adults ages 18 to 26 from around the world. Taglit Birthright Israel is a unique partnership between private philanthropists through The Birthright Israel Foundation; the people of Israel through the Government of Israel; and Jewish communities around the world (North American Jewish Federations, Keren Hayesod and the Jewish Agency for Israel). The mission is to send tens of thousands of young Jewish adults from all over the world to Israel as a gift to diminish the growing division between Israel and Jewish communities around the world; to strengthen the sense of solidarity between Israeli youth and Jewish communities throughout the world; and to promote the idea of a trip to Israel for all Diaspora Jews as a critical part of Jewish life outside of Israel.Description

IdentifierIdentifierReturn ReferenceReturnReferenceExplanationExplanation
Fin 48Part XThe Foundation follows guidance that 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 guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the financial statements if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. The Foundation has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it was nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. The tax years ending 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. The Foundation has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

ExplanationThe Foundation occasionally makes grants to Jewish 501(c)(3) charities in the United States that support its mission and ultimate goal of promoting Jewish life outside of Israel. The largest grant is made to a related party, Birthright Israel Next, to promote its charitable mission. The Foundation and NEXT share a common board so all funds granted to NEXT are certain to be used in a manner that is consistent with the Foundation's charitable mission. For grants made to other organizations, the Foundation requires periodic updates on the use of the funds. No grants were made to other Section 501(c)(3) organizations in 2011.Explanation

FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 11The Form 990 was prepared by a nationally renowned accounting firm in conjunction with the organization's financial department. A copy of the draft Form 990 was circulated to the full Board of Trustees for discussion and comment. Each Board Member was provided ample opportunity to comment on the information contained in the 990 prior to its filing with the Internal Revenue Service.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12Each officer, director, trustee and key employee of the ORGANIZATION is required to annually disclose any conflicts of interest that arise by virtue of their employment, board service, or position with the ORGANIZATION. The ORGANIZATION monitors compliance with its conflict of interest policy through an annual questionnaire/disclosure statement that is distributed to these individuals. Potential conflicts are investigated immediately.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 15The compensation of all of the individuals included on schedule j is reviewed annually by the independent members of the compensation committee of the board of directors who relied upon external 3rd party comparable market data gathered by a compensation adviser in assessing the appropriateness of the total compensation opportunity to be provided to the incumbent. Compensation decisions and reports are contemporaneously documented in the minutes of the meeting of the committee when the decisions are made.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 19The taxpayer makes its Form 990 available to the public by retaining a copy at its place of business. The Form 990 is likewise published on the internet at www.guidestar.org.
