Mission

SEE SCHEDULE O

Activities or mission (Part I)

Our mission is to create a transformative experience for teens and other students through a variety of study abroad programs in Israel. (see Schedule O for continuation)

  • AMIIE merged with the Jewish National Fund ("JNF") between December 2013 and January 2014. In the organization's last year as an independent entity, AMIIE's total enrollment was 895 students. In 2022, the first year that COVID-19 was minimized as a factor in enrollment, the organization's total enrollment was 1,500 students-an increase of 78%. AMIIE operated ten Core Programs and three Partner Programs in 2021, while in 2022, we had eight Core Programs and fourteen Partner Programs. We developed a variety of new programs and evaluated the student response in these years. Our evaluations demonstrated the indisputable fact that we change lives. Comparing student enrollment in 2021, our Core student enrollment was 637, and our Partner Programs had reduced enrollment due to concerns regarding COVID-19, with only 155 enrolled students and a total enrollment of 792 students for that year. In 2022, our Core student enrollment was 595, and our Partner Programs' enrollment increased to 905 students, with a total enrollment of 1,500 students for that year.

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.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 3 · Form 990 of other organizations
  • 3 · Written employment contract
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
