1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

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. ALEXANDER MUSS INSTITUTE FOR ISRAEL EDUCATION, INC. (AMIIE) PROVIDES MIDDLE STATES ACCREDITED HIGH SCHOOL COURSES AND A FULL COMPLEMENT OF PROGRAMS IN ISRAEL STUDIES SO THAT PARTICIPANTS (AGES 12 TO 18) DEVELOP A STRONG SENSE OF SELF, THE JEWISH PEOPLE, AND THE LAND OF ISRAEL.

  • AMIIE MERGED WITH THE JEWISH NATIONAL FUND ("JNF") BETWEEN DECEMBER 2013 AND JANUARY 2014. IN COMPARING AMIIE'S STUDENT ENROLLMENT IN 2022, OUR CORE STUDENT ENROLLMENT WAS 595, AND OUR PARTNER PROGRAMS' ENROLLMENT WAS 905 STUDENTS, WITH A TOTAL ENROLLMENT OF 1,500 STUDENTS FOR THAT YEAR. IN 2023, OUR CORE STUDENT ENROLLMENT WAS 648, AND OUR PARTNER PROGRAMS' ENROLLMENT WAS REDUCED TO 420 STUDENTS DUE TO OCTOBER 7. IN TOTAL, OUR 2023 STUDENT ENROLLMENT WAS 1068. THE IMPACT OF THE EVENTS OF OCTOBER 7TH CONTINUED TO BE FELT THROUGHOUT 2024, WITH CORE STUDENT ENROLLMENT AT 123, AND OUR PARTNER PROGRAMS' ENROLLMENT WAS 88 STUDENTS. WE WERE ABLE TO ENROLL 116 STUDENTS IN TEEN MISSION PROGRAMS THAT WERE DEVELOPED IN RESPONSE TO BRING TEENS TO ISRAEL ON ONE WEEK SHORT TERM VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS. THIS BROUGHT TOTAL ENROLLMENT TO 327 STUDENTS FOR 2024. AS A RESULT OF THE ONGOING REGIONAL CONFLICT, WHICH BEGAN WITH HOSTILITIES ON OCTOBER 7, 2023, AMIIE HAS OBSERVED A SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN SHORT-TERM DEMAND FOR STUDY ABROAD PROGRAMS IN ISRAEL. AS A RESULT, THE CAMPUSES WERE REPURPOSED AT THE END OF 2023 FOR WAR-RELATED DISPLACED PEOPLE. IN 2024, THE PROGRAM RETURNED WITH FAR FEWER ENROLLEES THAN ANTICIPATED. PARTNER PROGRAMS WERE SLOW TO RETURN TO ISRAEL. CONSEQUENTLY, AMIIE ADDED ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMS AND SOLIDARITY MISSIONS TO REMAIN ACTIVE. WHILE THE GEOPOLITICAL INSTABILITY CONTINUES TO PRESENT CHALLENGES, AMIIE REMAINS COMMITTED TO NAVIGATING THESE COMPLEXITIES WITH RESILIENCE AND ADAPTABILITY. OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM IS ACTIVELY EVALUATING THE SITUATION TO ENSURE THE CONTINUITY OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, FOCUSING ON THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF. FOLLOWING THE WAR WITH IRAN IN JUNE 2025 MOST SUMMER PROGRAMS WERE CANCELLED, AND AS A RESULT WE EXPECT GROWTH TO REMAIN FLAT FOR 2025. HOWEVER, WE ARE PLANNING FOR A SIGNIFICANT RECOVERY IN 2026.

The first 25 listed. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
