Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Thanks to the broad scope of Yad Sarah's activities and services, and the compassion and caring of its large volunteer corps, the organization has become an indelible part of the fabric of every-day Israeli society. Yad Sarah is also recognized widely as a model for a humane and cost-effective approach to caring for the ill and injured at home.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Friends of Yad Sarah assists individuals, families and communities with dedication opportunities, volunteer projects, planned giving, and special events, raising much needed funds to support the work of the Yad Sarah organization and its dedicated corps of volunteers in Israel. Friends of Yad Sarah helps arrange Services For Tourists with special needs and guided Visits To Yad Sarah House, the organization's headquarters in Jerusalem. Friends of Yad Sarah represents the mission of Yad Sarah to its friends in the USA and to the international community at the UN.

  • Yad Sarah, Israel's largest volunteer staffed organization, provides a vital array of compassionate health and home care services for people of all ages. Today, more than 45 years after it was founded, Yad Sarah has 100+ branches throughout Israel staffed by more than 7,000 volunteers. Although the organization is best known for its extensive Lending Service for medical equipment, its volunteers also drive the organization's accessible vans, reach out to the homebound, advocate for the elderly at risk for abuse, provide in-home geriatric dental care and staff the Play Center for children with special needs. More than 750,000 people received help from Yad Sarah in FY 2023. Yad Sarah's annual operating budget is supported almost completely by charitable gifts, over 70 percent of which is raised within Israel.

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.
