DescThe American Friends of Bar-Ilan University (AFBIU) develops philanthropic support for Bar-Ilan University (BIU) in Israel. AFBIU seeks contributions at all levels of giving from individuals, families, foundations and businesses who embrace the University's mission-unique among Israeli universities-to provide students with high-level educational experiences in an academic environment infused with Jewish values and a love of the State of Israel. Historically, the American Friends of Bar-Ilan has operated as a fundraising division within Bar-Ilan University, serving to broaden the University's donor base in the United States and cultivate a sustained stream of funding. For nearly 60 years, AFBIU has been a vital partner in support of the University's mission to create a core curriculum that provides a diverse group of students with a common basic understanding of their Jewish heritage, history and culture, as well as of the Zionist values which underpin the State of Israel. Today, AFBIU has developed its own identity separate from its parent organization, BIU. AFBIU has obtained its own Section 501(c)(3) tax exemption from the Internal Revenue Service and is operating independently from BIU. AFBIU represents the University's interests in the United States; our funding of academic projects, facilities, returning scientists and scholarships through annual contributions and planned gifts are laying a foundation of support that will sustain the University for generations to come.Desc

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Schedule D, Part V: Endowment FundsThe current Form 990 represents the second complete Information Return that American Friends of Bar Ilan has completed as its activities had previously been reported in the Form 990 of its related organization, Bar-Ilan University in Israel, Inc. Prior to obtaining its own Section 501(c)(3) tax exemption, AFBIU operated as a division of Bar-Ilan University (see Schedule O for more information) and its endowment was disclosed on that organization's Form 990. In the interests of transparency and full disclosure, AFBIU is completing the entire endowment rollforward on Schedule D, Part V to report the activity in its endowment (even though this is technically its second Form 990). The prior year data disclosed in columns (c) through (e) reconcile to that reported on the previously filed BIU 990s. Schedule D, Part V: Line 1(f) The amounts reported on Form 990, Schedule D, Part V, Line 1(f) for the year ending September 30, 2016 represent the following: $475,000 of funds released from the endowment by donor request $111,760 prior period adjustment to the beginning balance Since the Schedule D endowment table does not provide for the categorization of non-traditional events, AFBIU has opted to report these items on Line 1(f) accordingly. Part X, Line 2: Fin 48 AFBIU follows guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the financial statements if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. AFBIU is exempt from federal income tax under IRC section 501(c)(3), though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to their exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the Code. AFBIU has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of their tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it was nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. The tax years ended September 30, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. The organization has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Schedule D, Part XI and XII AFBIU does not receive standalone financial statements; its operations are consolidated with an affiliated organization, The Haron Dahan Fund. The Parts XI and XII reconciliation on Schedule D tie back to AFBIU's financial information within the audited financial statements and not to the consolidated numbers.

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
General StatementAmerican Friends of Bar-Ilan, Inc. (AFBIU) obtained its federal tax-exemption in September of 2014; this tax exemption is retroactive to the date of February 15, 2012. Prior to obtaining its own Section 501(c)(3) tax exemption, AFBIU was a division of Bar-Ilan University in Israel, Inc., a foreign university that does have a federal tax exemption under Section 501(c)(3) and files its own Form 990 with the Internal Revenue Service. AFBIU's financial information, governance activities and operations were previously reported on BIU's Form 990. Although AFBIU has obtained its separate tax-exempt status and compiles its own separate audited financial statements, the process of separating the assets of BIU and AFBIU has not been concluded prior to the conclusion of the AFBIU's tax year. All of the assets reported in AFBIU's financial statements are technically still owned by BIU; nevertheless, AFBIU's management has concluded that reporting its financial information within BIU's Form 990 does not provide a transparent representation of AFBIU's annual activities. Beginning with the 2014 Form 990, AFBIU is reporting its own financial information, governance activities and operations in its own standalone Form 990 to promote transparency and to provide potential donors with an accurate representation of its programmatic activities, goals and initiatives. Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Form 990 was prepared by an independent accounting firm in conjunction with the AFBIU's financial department. A copy of the draft Form 990 was circulated to the full Board of Directors for discussion and comment. Each board member was provided ample opportunity to comment on the information contained in the 990 prior to its electronic filing with the internal revenue service.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12cEach officer, director, trustee and key employee of the Organization is required to annually disclose any conflicts of interest that arise by virtue of their employment, board service, or position with the Organization. The Organization monitors compliance with its conflict of interest policy through an annual questionnaire/disclosure statement that is distributed to these individuals. Potential conflicts are investigated immediately.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15aThe Organization undertakes a thorough process to ensure that the executive compensation it pays to its top management official and all of its officers and key employees is reasonable. The organization board has established a compensation committee of Independent persons that have no interest in the proposed compensation agreement. The compensation committee utilizes a comparability and benchmarking survey to ensure that the organization compensates its executives commensurate with the market.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19The organization makes its form 990 available to the public by retaining a copy at its place of business. The Form 990 is likewise published on the internet at www.guidestar.org. The organization's Financial Statements, governing documents, and conflict of interest policy are not ordinarily made available to the public, but, if requested, will be provided at management's discretion.
