Schedule F, Part I, Line 2We do not give grants directly to individuals. Rather, we pay the expenses for tuition, room & board, transport, administrative services (obtaining visas, etc.) and other expenses, such as book, computers, pocket money and occasionally, even glasses and clothing, especially for those students from third-world countries, who are qualified but cannot afford to pay for our courses and those at the Hebrew University. (We have dorm facilities and volunteers who cook meals and drive the students to studies and field trips.) We also have short-term course for Bible translation consultants at subsidized prices since many cannot afford to pay non-subsidized rates.
Schedule F, Part IV, Line 3Due to difficulties obtaining visas for our students as a US- Non-Profit with no official standing in Israel, the Board decided that it would be expedient at this point to open an Israeli Non-Profit to help with visas and other occasional difficulties we have had in operating in Israel. Therefore, we began a process near the end of 2018 to establish an Israeli Non-Profit (Amuta). We have received permission to open but have not yet completed the process. We hope to become established in 2022.

Form 990, Part XI, Line 9(Also Part X, Lines 10a and 11) We keep our books in New Israeli Shekels and the beginning of the year amount for 2020 in the balance sheet in Part X and here were the end of year amounts for 2019 at the rates we used last year, which were $-3.456 and EURO=3.878. The end of the year figures are based on the 2020 exchange rates which were $=3.215 and EURO=3.944. This causes a discrepancy every year in the reconciliation. Also, the changes in value of items on the balance sheet are due to exchange rate differences.
