OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Sudan School - a former IFI Intern, who is now an IFI employee, serves refugees in Sudan who were displaced from the Nuba mountains due to aerial bombardment. The Nuba refugee children were denied access to government schools and medical care. IFI's employee built and began operating a school providing education for these children. The school facilities continued to expand gradually to accommodate more students. In this way funds designated to this service are used to practically show the love of Jesus to a marginalized people group. This is one example of how IFI impacts the world through students, formerly served by IFI while in the US, who then return home with a vision to share the love of Jesus. The civil conflict in Sudan that began in April 2023 disrupted certain functions of this ministry and the IFI employee and his family fled to Egypt. He is supervising ministry operations remotely. IFI is unable to predict the outcome of the war on this ministry or financial conditions related to the war. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Changes in IFI Operations due to COVID-19 during 2020 and extending into 2022 - The United States and the State of Ohio declared a state of emergency in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the state of emergency declaration universities and religious organizations were shut down. IFIs operations are directly impacted through their programs at universities and religious organizations. While many face-to-face activities ceased abruptly, many of IFI's ISM activities were able to continue using digital means. IFI campus ministers and volunteers have been creatively connecting with students through social media and personally while practicing safe social distancing. Some program costs, such as travel and hospitality meals, were reduced due to the emergency measures. Successful livestream fundraising events and student activities have been conducted and IFI made appropriate changes to adjust to the pandemic environment. During summer 2021 some restrictions were eased and certain in-person events and activities restarted and continued through 2022.

Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 Gain from business expense insurance recovery = $89637 Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 Gain from property insurance recovery not yet spent = $1592717 Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 Gain on disposal of assets = $0 Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 Gain from insurance recoveries related to the casualty loss due to fire. - On June 3, 2022, IFI had a fire in one unit of the headquarters building, in an office rented to unaffiliated tenants. The fire and the emergency extinguishment caused significant smoke and soot damage throughout the building. Essentially all walls, floor coverings and ceilings, along with various pieces of office equipment and furniture & fixtures were damaged. IFI wrote off the carrying value of these impaired assets in 2022 which totaled $238,304. IFI has property insurance that covered this casualty loss including but not limited to the renovation costs, business interruption expenses and lost revenues. IFI will use available cash to pay for any amounts above the insurance recoveries or raise additional funds specified for the building renovations. As of August 31, 2023, total insurance proceeds for property damage amounted to $2,092,717 (which consisted of proceeds totaling $1,592,717 in 2023 and proceeds totaling $500,000 in 2022, respectively). This exceeded the $238,304 property loss recorded in 2022 pertaining to the written off carrying value of impaired assets. Thus, a gain of $1,592,717 in 2023 and $261,696 in 2022 has been recognized in relation to the property portion of the insurance claims. IFI also received $89,637 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2022 insurance proceeds for business interruption expenses, also recorded as part of gain from insurance claims. This resulted in a total insurance gain of $1,682,354 in 2023 and $311,696 in 2022, respectively. Using GAAP accounting, the related expenses are recorded on various lines on Form 990 Part IX Statement of Functional Expenses. The insurance proceeds for the lost revenue both paid and accrued, from the occurrence of the incident were shown on Form 990 Part VII Statement of Revenue Line 6a. IFI is currently not able to estimate the total financial impact, however, the additional business expenses and building renovations are expected to be recovered when paid.
