What the amendment changed
Compared with the latest return for 2024 , filed 19 November 2025. matched by us Only the Part I totals and the names listed in Part VII are compared. We relate returns by organization, tax year and form, and order them by each return's own timestamp; the filer's own "amended return" checkbox is a separate fact.
Both are the same on the two returns, so the amendment changed something else.

Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
During the past year we provided humanitarian aid to more than 50,000 people in communities across Ukraine. We provided food, medicine, medical care, programs for children, lodging, counseling and much more. These efforts were carried out by the local charity LifeChanger with whom we work closely and to whom we provide substantial funding, as well as local rabbis and volunteers. We work around the clock, 6 days a week to carry out our mission, with people in the United States, Ukraine, and Israel, supporting our efforts.

Food:Food vouchers are provided for individuals and families to purchase items they need most. On average, vouchers are provided in the amount of $100 per person per month; certificates are distributed by LifeChanger staff and volunteers, with careful records maintained regarding recipients. Vouchers are redeemed at a local grocery store where the voucher was purchased.Soup Kitchens:Soup kitchens operate in many cities around the country, at the local synagogue or Jewish community center where all people are welcomed. The kitchens are supported by the local rabbi and volunteers with support from LifeChanger staff. On average, 15 soup kitchens operate each month.Packages:Distribution of food packages have helped tens of thousands of people survive the past year. For many individuals and families, the staples of their diet were contained in the boxes they pick up each week from the local synagogue or community center. Filled with all types of food products as well as personal hygiene products, these boxes have been a lifeline for men, women and children who have very limited incomes and have exhausted their savings.

Passover:Passover is one of the most important holidays in the Jewish religion; observing Passover is of critical importance to nearly every Jew. Because the holiday emphasizes liberation and freedom (exodus from bondage) the observance is especially important to the spiritual well-being of those living through a war, fighting for their freedom. The observance of Passover requires a lot of very specific food items, both for the ceremonial meal and the duration of the 8 day holiday. Seders:To facilitate the Passover observance, Seder kits were delivered to 20,000 families across Ukraine, containing everything needed to carry out the ceremonial meal and other aspects of the holiday. In addition, 114 communal Seders were held in cities across the country for 15,000 people. Additionally, 20,000 packages of Passover food were distributed to households, supplying sufficient kosher food for the entire 8 days. Each package contained meat, vegetables, fruit, Matzah, wine, grape juice, olive oil, tea, coffee and much more.In total, we provided 61 tons of Matzah to the people of Ukraine for the Passover holiday.

Winter:The harsh winter in Ukraine was a grave concern, as millions of people lacked sufficient means to pay to heat their homes and also purchase food. Periodic power outages created dangerous situations, particularly for the old and infirm. The 150 industrial generators we purchased two years ago were often used to power schools, community centers and other communal buildings where people gathered for warmth and to power their communication devices.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
