A nonprofit organization and United Nations NGO (non-governmental organization), Jewish National Fund gives all generations of Jews a unique voice in building a prosperous future for the land of Israel and its people. JNF began in 1901 as a dream and vision to reestablish a homeland in Israel for Jewish people everywhere. Jews the world over collected coins in iconic JNF Blue Boxes, purchasing land and planting trees until ultimately, their dream of a Jewish homeland was a reality. JNF strives to bring an enhanced quality of life to all of Israel's residents and translate these advancements to the world beyond. JNF is "greening" the desert with millions of trees, building thousands of parks across Israel, creating new communities and cities for generations of Israelis to call home, bolstering Israel's water supply, helping develop innovative arid agriculture techniques and educating both young and old about the founding and importance of Israel and Zionism. In 2015 JNF entered its 114th year as one of the world's oldest Jewish non-profits and maintains a special and historic connection to Israel in that its early work helped create the land and empower its people to later become a nation. JNF is synonymous with the Blue Box and planting trees in Israel, and has evolved into seven major program areas, each with its own major goals and partnerships within Israel to help put into place the projects that are mainly donor-designated. Continuing on work begun in 2013, JNF's One Billion Dollar Campaign over the Next Decade, has created ground-breaking new ventures focusing on connecting the next generation to Israel, building communities in Israel's periphery regions of the Negev and Galilee, and creating infrastructure for ecology, special needs, and heritage preservation. JNF enhances quality of life by building new communities and bolstering existing ones. JNF's Blueprint Negev campaign is helping to bring hundreds of thousands of new residents to the Negev Desert and its Go North campaign is focusing on the communities of northern Israel. JNF's work in Community Building includes, Be'er Sheva River Park, Sderot JNF Indoor Recreation Center, Central Arava Medical Center, Project Wadi Attir and Halutza. JNF is the single largest provider of Zionist engagement programs in the U.S. and offers myriad ways to connect young Americans to Israel. Its Israel education and advocacy programs that start in kindergarten and continue through college life engage, educate and help students foster a greater connection and commitment to both the land and people of Israel. Programming includes, Campus Fellows, Caravan for Democracy, Alternative Break, Taglit-Birthright Israel, Faculty Fellowship Summer Institute in Israel, Alexander Muss High School in Israel, B'nai mitzvah projects, Plant Your Way to Israel and Green Horizons. With the management of the Alexander Muss High School in Israel, which, since 1972, has been pioneering the academic and experiential study of Israel and Jewish history at the high school level, JNF sets the goal of further growing and enhancing Jewish continuity and Israel connectivity amongst youth by offering semester abroad programs to better enrich student knowledge base and to better prepare them for college study. In 2015 JNF announced the new $100 million JNF Boruchin Israel Education Advocacy Center to focus on Israel and Zionist educational programming, designed to be one of the most powerful new initiatives in the Jewish world. The Center will concentrate its resources on advocating for Israel, Israel education in the Diaspora, and countering the BDS movement, all with the goal of strengthening the connection of all Americans, now and in the future, to the land and people of Israel. The center, administered within JNF, was created as a result of an estate gift of the late John and Dora Boruchin of California. No previous bequest has ever funded such a bold initiative to promote and develop Zionist education on this magnitude. As an innovator in ecological development and a pioneer in forest creation and fire prevention, JNF has planted more than 250 million trees all over Israel, providing luscious belts of green covering more than 250,000 acres, and protects these areas by battling approximately 1,000 forest fires every year. Areas of work include, Forestry, Firefighting and Fire Prevention, Agricultural Infrastructure Development, Soil Conservation, Combating Desertification and Coral Reef Restoration. JNF has bolstered Israel's water economy by developing alternative water sources, saving the economy millions, advancing Israeli agriculture, and improving water quality. JNF has built over 250 reservoirs, raising the amount of recycled water in Israel to over 85%, and today is focusing on river rehabilitation, education, water purification and research and development. Focus areas include, Recycled Water Reservoirs, River Rehabilitation, Rainwater Harvesting Program and Constructed Wetlands. JNF sponsors a network of regional agricultural R&D stations across the country where leading scientists and technicians work closely with local farmers, research institutes, and universities to increase agricultural sustainability, profitability, and stability. This work focuses on Agricultural R&D Stations, Solar Power Innovation, Global Teaching, Desert Region Development, Fish Farming and University Research. JNF is committed to the preservation of historical sites associated with Israel's rebirth and ensuring that the stories behind them are properly documented and retold for generations to come. This initiative enables JNF to share the past, the important events, the places, the struggles and the fight for Israel's independence with Israelis and tourists alike. JNF's historical sites include Ayalon Institute, Atlit "Illegal" Immigration Detention Camp, Ammunition Hill, Yellin House, Gush Etzion Visitor Center and Tel Hai Museum. As part of its focus on improving quality of life in Israel, JNF is dedicated to ensuring that no member of Israeli society is left behind. Through a variety of initiatives, JNF provides cutting-edge rehabilitative services, special education, and medical care for people with special needs and makes its parks, nature trails, and recreational facilities inclusive for visitors of all ability levels. Collaborative partners include Aleh Negev-Nahalat Eran, LOTEM-Making Nature Accessible, Red Mountain Therapeutic Riding Center at Kibbutz Grofit and Special in Uniform.

Return Reference Explanation
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 The primary objective of the endowment in the near term is to preserve the normal market value of its assets in order to limit realized and unrealized investment losses. The secondary objective of the endowment is to grow the value of its assets at a modest rate to allow for continued support of JNF's operations.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 Jewish National Fund 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. Jewish National Fund is exempt from federal income tax under IRC section 501(c)(3), though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the Code. Jewish National Fund 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 September 30, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. Jewish National Fund has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

ReturnReference Explanation
Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 The Jewish National Fund is devoted to promoting and furthering the cultural, physical, social, medical, agricultural and general welfare of the people of Israel. One of the principal ways JNF accomplishes this mission is by granting funds to support projects and organizations in Israel. All funds granted (and reported on Schedule F) are made to organizations located in Israel for the purposes of bettering the Israeli society. JNF takes its responsibility of monitoring these projects very seriously and undertakes rigorous processes to ensure that the funds granted are used for the purposes intended. JNF established the Israeli Relations Committee which travels annually to Israel to study in-depth the needs, review ongoing projects, and evaluate future plans. Israel projects are primarily carried out by JNF's agent in Israel, Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael ("KKL") and other JNF board-approved, select Israel not-for-profit organizations. JNF staff daily monitors the progress of projects to ensure they are being implemented properly. JNF sends monthly reports back to JNF informing the organization on the status of all funded projects in Israel.

Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Schedule G, Part II - Event Activities The Jewish National Fund operates throughout the United States in pursuit of its charitable mission. The organization conducts hundreds of special event and fundraising activities in multiple jurisdictions and so capturing the precise information for the Schedule G is quite difficult. The organization attributes approximately 15% of all special event fundraising income as being derived from the goods and services component of the ticket price and thus the Column C breakout of revenue (for the 290 events) has been calculated using this allocation methodology. Expenses attributable to these events have not been classified as the sheer volume of events makes this very difficult to capture accurately.

Return Reference Explanation
Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 The Jewish National Fund principally only makes grants to not-for-profit organizations outside the United States (in Israel). However, occasionally, JNF will send funds that are intended to support an Israeli organization to its U.S. based "Friends of" organization. In addition, JNF will support U.S. organizations that adopt a similar tax-exempt mission as JNF so long as the organization demonstrates a project that satisfies JNF's programmatic standards. JNF ensures that all grant recipients are Section 501(c)(3) organizations and will require periodic reports from the grantee informing JNF of the status on funded projects.

Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11 The Form 990 was prepared by a nationally renowned accounting firm in conjunction with the organization's financial department. Before filing, the Form 990 is reviewed by management and distributed to the Board of Directors for review and comment. If any issues should arise, it is discussed with the CFO. If there are changes, it is recirculated to the board of directors for approval.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C The Jewish National Fund's ("JNF") conflict of interest policy exists to protect JNF and assist the staff, volunteers, and members of its governing entities in making ethical decisions that benefit JNF as a whole, not just a particular individual or parties associated with JNF. This policy is intended to supplement, but not replace any applicable state laws that govern conflicts of interest. As a publicly funded organization, the ethical conduct must be of the highest standards. Not only should actual conflict of interest be avoided but also the appearance of, perception of, or potential for a conflict of interest as a person associated with JNF, There is duty to disclose, on an annual basis or when a situation arises, other obligations that might prevent one from acting in the best interest of JNF and then remove oneself from discussions, actions, votes or other activities in relation to the conflict should an issue arise that could be potential conflict of interest, There is a duty to JNF to notify a superior, or a governing entity chair, of the situation. The appropriate parties would investigate and make a determination depending upon the IR determination, The party may be asked to remove his/herself from participation in discussions or votes related to the conflict or potential conflict. The potential conflict of interest will be investigated by the appropriate parties if it relates to a member of the governing entity, or the senior staff, then it will be turned over to the administration committee that is not involved in the conflict if it involves a member of the staff or a volunteer, a committee and other appropriate senior staff will make the determination. Once the committee has made its determination and presents alternatives, the parties involved may be asked to - abstain from voting on the action - remove yourselves from any discussion relating to the conflict - refrain from discussing the issue with other coworkers, volunteers or governing entity so as not to influence their actions - consider other actions, depending on the situation conflict of interest statements are completed yearly by all personnel and are review by management to monitor possible conflicts.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 15 JNF has adopted procedures to ensure that the compensation is pays to its top executive (Russell Robinson) and the rest of its management team and staff is commensurate with the industry in which it serves. The CEO's compensation is determined by JNF's Budget & Finance Committee after reviewing various performance based metrics and the compensation of similarly situated executives at peer institutions. JNF last conducted a compensation study for Mr. Robinson in 2014 and utilized those recommendations to determine his compensation. All compensation decisions are memorialized in the Budget & Finance Committee meeting minutes. For all other individuals reported on the Form 990, compensation is determined by the CEO. JNF's Budget & Finance Committee determines the annual salary budget which must then be approved by the full Board of Director. The CEO utilizes the annually budget compensation pool to determine salary increases for all JNF employees (inclusive of the executives).
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 JNF makes its Form 990 available to the public by retaining a copy at its place of business and on its website. The Form 990 is likewise published on the internet at www.guidestar.org. The organization's financial statements are available upon request. The governing documents and conflict of interest policy are not ordinarily made available to the public, but, if requested, will be provided at management's discretion.
