FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 16A AND B:
IN 2004, BBYO ENTERED INTO A FEE-FOR-SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH THE TLALIM GROUP (TLALIM), AN INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL SERVICE PROVIDER WITH OFFICES IN ISRAEL AND WASHINGTON DC. THE INITIAL AGREEMENT PROVIDED THAT TLALIM WOULD PROVIDE ALL TRAVEL SERVICES FOR BBYO'S "PASSPORT TO ISRAEL" PROGRAM. TLALIM HAD A SOLID REPUTATION IN THE TRAVEL MARKET AND WAS THE LARGEST TRAVEL PROVIDER TO BIRTHRIGHT ISRAEL. FOR THE FIRST FEW YEARS, BBYO PAID TLALIM AS A VENDOR AND ANNUALLY NEGOTIATED TLALIM'S MARKUP (COST ABOVE THE ACTUAL TRAVEL COSTS). BBYO ALSO ANNUALLY REVIEWED THE COST OF USING TLALIM AGAINST THOSE OF OTHER TRAVEL PROVIDERS. AS BBYO'S PASSPORT TO ISRAEL PROGRAM GREW STEADILY OVER THE YEARS, BBYO EVALUATED WHETHER IT WAS IN BBYO'S BEST INTEREST TO RESTRUCTURE ITS ARRANGEMENT WITH TLALIM. BASED ON THAT ANALYSIS, BBYO AND TLALIM ENTERED INTO A JOINT VENTURE IN 2008. UNDER THE AGREEMENT, TLALIM IS THE SOLE TRAVEL PROVIDER TO BBYO PASSPORT AND CONTRIBUTES SALES, MARKETING AND OPERATIONS RESOURCES TO THE BBYO PASSPORT PROGRAMS. TLALIM AGREED TO A NON-COMPETE CLAUSE, WHEREBY IT CEASED ALL SALES AND MARKETING FOR INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL PROGRAMS WHICH COMPETED AGAINST BBYO'S PASSPORT PROGRAM. 100% ALL ACTIVITIES OF THE JOINT VENTURE FALL UNDER THE PURPOSE/MISSION OF BBYO AS STATED IN ITS FORM 1023 AND ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION: 1. TO EDUCATE AND TRAIN JEWISH YOUTH; 2. TO PROMOTE THE LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT OF JEWISH YOUTH; 3. TO ENCOURAGE JEWISH YOUTH IN DEVELOPING A POSITIVE JEWISH IDENTITY; 4. TO GUIDE JEWISH YOUTH IN DEVELOPING AN APPRECIATION FOR CHARITABLE GIVING; AND 5. TO ENABLE JEWISH YOUTH TO ASSUME LEADERSHIP ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE JEWISH AND GENERAL COMMUNITIES. BBYO FOLLOWS WRITTEN POLICIES AND PROCEDURES WHICH GOVERN ALL PARTICIPATION AND ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THIS JOINT VENTURE TO ENSURE THAT THE ORGANIZATION HAS SAFEGUARDED ITS 501(C)(3) EXEMPT STATUS.
