In 2021, the JFR distributed more than $800,000 USD in direct support of rescuers who live in 16 countries. Funds are distributed three times during the year for rescuers living outside the United States and quarterly for rescuers living inside the U.S. Funds are distributed to the rescuers in a safe and efficient manner. Procedures are in place to ensure that the rescuers receive their funds. Procedures and safeguards are also in place to ensure that the rescuers receiving monthly support from the JFR are still alive.

The JFR began supporting rescuers in the late 1980s. 70372 The JFR is committeed to teaching the history of the Holocaust and to preserving the legacy of Righteous Gentiles. The JFR's national Holocaust teacher education program is comprised of four key components: 1) JFR published educational materials; 2) the Alfred Lerner Fellowship Program; 3) Holocaust Centers of Excellence Program; and 4) educational seminars, institutes, and workshops for teachers and students. The JFR's national teacher training program works with 13 recognized Holocaust centers across the United States. These Holocaust centers comprise the JFR's Holocaust Centers of Excellence Program. The JFR continued to provide support to 13 Holocaust centers located across the United States and to their teachers. The JFR continues to support its more than 670 Alfred Lerner Fellows from the United States, Poland, Croatia, Hungary, and Lithuania as well as meeting the needs of individual educators and schools across the United States requesting information about the Holocaust and how to teach this complex subject in the classroom. 1473645 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false true true false false false true true true false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 12 0 5 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false AL AK AR CA CO CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY ME MD MA MI MN MS NV NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X X STANLEE J STAHL 9737361800 80 MAIN STREET SUITE 380 WEST ORANGE NJ 070525438 STANLEE J STAHL EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT 75.0 0.0 X X 270020 0 22988 Dara S Zadikow Director of Development 50.0 0.0 X 119496 0 11689 Harvey Schulweis Chairman 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Roman Kent deceased 521 President 0.5 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Mark Goldsmith Esq SECRETARY - TREASURER 3.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Abby Crisses trustee 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Deborah Dwork PhD trustee 0.1 0.0 X 0 0 0 STEVEN FIELD MD TRUSTEE 10.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Iris Katz trustee 0.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Leonard Littman trustee 0.1 0.0 X 0 0 0 Hazel Shanken trustee 0.1 0.0 X 0 0 0 Hannah Waldman trustee 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 389516 0 34677 4 false true false MERRILL LYNCH One Bryant Park 28th Flr NEW YORK NY 10036 INVESTMENT MANAGEMEN 124468 1 1882474 1698 1882474 EDUCATION PROGRAMS 611710 8283 8283 8283 347052 347052 0 0 0 0 0 332166 332166 332166 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2569975 8283 347052 0 14900 14900 801530 801530 0 270020 237618 13501 18901 0 156604 137812 7830 10962 0 0 24918 21928 1246 1744 0 0 35000 17500 14000 3500 0 0 124468 124468 0 0 49611 39690 2480 7441 14776 11082 739 2955 0 52296 47066 2615 2615 0 0 0 0 0 2387 1910 119 358 0 EDUCATION PROGRAMS 70372 70372 0 0 DIRECT MAIL EXPENSES 118350 0 0 118350 PAYROLL RELATED FEES 1298 1142 65 91 PUBLIC RELATIONS 51587 49008 2579 26577 22087 916 3574 1814694 1473645 167979 173070 X 0 548951 947336 472227 0 0 0 1795 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3696 3696 195815 192904 5298 2911 10680352 12024873 0 0 0 0 0 0 4083 4083 11640765 13058536 26635 34749 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 26635 34749 X 11121196 12516292 492934 507495 11614130 13023787 11640765 13058536 755281 654376 X false true true false X 2490543 2215367 2243117 1281550 1882474 10113051 0 0 2490543 2215367 2243117 1281550 1882474 10113051 0 10113051 215128 250005 297759 245090 347052 1355034 0 0 11468085 0.88184 0.89570 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 492934 14561 507495 475251 17683 492934 458898 16353 475251 440752 18146 458898 423503 17249 440752 1.00000 false false 111703 108792 2911 84112 84112 2911 0 0 X 3131697 654376 31814 686190 2445507 124468 124468 2569975 1722040 31814 31814 1690226 124468 124468 1814694 PART V, LINE 4: THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE TO BE USED FOR HOLOCAUST EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES.
