Over the years, CFI has received the Jerusalem Prize for volunteerism, accolades from the Chief Rabbinate, an award from PM Menachem Begin and accolades from hundreds of charities in Israel. We do not solicit or advertise. By word of mouth alone we have grown into a significant charitable force in Israel. Aiding over 400 charities and institutions each year we help the nation of Israel to thrive. false false 40937381 40937381 Community projects:The organization undertakes community projects which benefit the welfare of the citizens and the land of Israel. During this past year we witnessed another significant increase in Anti-Semitism in all its forms. The threats to the nation of Israel, the land of Israel, the people of Israel and the supporters of Israel all around the world continues to rise daily. All media, but particularly social media continues to see an explosion of classical Anti-Semitism and many new modern forms of hatred. Voices of demonstrations, boycotts, divestment, and even total destruction of the state and its people are heard in classrooms, university campuses, newspapers, parliments all over the world and i'm sorry to say even in the halls of congress of our majestic country. The enemies of the Jewish nation constantly search for new ways to harm us. There are many who have not given up on their dream to destroy us physically. The venom heard throughout is reminiscent of the 1930's and its disastrous consequences to humanity. CFI continues supporting those charities which are combating Anti-Semitism, the BDS movement and threats of annihilation of the Jewish people.Our community projects are meant to increase public awareness to the realities of Anti-Semitism and combat it wherever it is found; whether through use of the legal system or social media. We need to educate the world of the evil affects of Anti-Semitism. Not even 100 years removed from the Holocaust, we see history repeating itself. Our grants also go to assist in the construcion and maintenance of community facilities throughout Israel. 36663125 36663125 Social services, humanitarian aid, aid to the poor:Helping those in need is at the core of the organization. Charity means helping those in need whether it be in education, building structures, security or medicine. Our humanitarian aid is targeted to those people in need, whether it be monetary, physical or emotional. This category includes aid to food kitchens, children at risk, aid to terror victims and their families, aid to refugees and new immigrants, special education, after school programs, womens health programs etc.Due to the war which insued after Israel was attacjed on oct 7th the need for these social services increased by over $10 million as the refugee needs were so great 12317433 12317433 Support of educational programs and institutions: As in the past, there is a great overlap of humanitarian services as many educational programs service the humanitarian aspects of education as in scholarships and special education. There is also an overlap with community projects as there is a constant need to expand existing, and build new schools as the population increases.This category also increased by 75% due to the war as all the educational institutions around the country were on war footing to aid in the displacement of tens of thousands of refugees who needed to continue their educations in new areas 6061223 6061223 95979162 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false true true true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false true OC false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 6 true true false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false NY X X Jay Marcus 6462898105 13 Hagoel Street Efrat Israel IS 9043500 Jay Marcus President 40.00 0.00 X X 150000 0 0 Jeff Most Treasurer 1.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dr Linda Kalish Marcus Secretary 18.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mitchell Eichen Director 0.10 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Fischberger Director 0.10 0.00 X 0 0 0 Yehuda Marcus Director 0.10 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jacob Weichholz Director 0.10 0.00 X 0 0 0 150000 1 false false false 0 107054323 333037 107054323 0 2114560 2114560 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Adjustment From Unpaid Loans 900099 10496 10496 10496 109179379 2125056 3135614 3135614 0 92843548 92843548 0 115000 115000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 18280 18280 0 0 0 0 0 2312 2312 0 0 0 3331 3331 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bank fees 1450 1450 0 96119535 95979162 140373 0 6352486 2208315 10276140 24761265 0 35365 7300 0 0 0 0 0 0 9481984 12047070 0 0 0 1 0 26145976 39023950 0 0 X 26145976 39023950 26145976 39023950 26145976 39023950 13059844 -181870 X false true X false false X 47922228 48462888 55221168 73849870 107054323 332510477 0 0 47922228 48462888 55221168 73849870 107054323 332510477 61373651 271136826 249148 247226 233813 441186 2114560 3285933 0 0 335796410 0.80740 0.70480 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 108997509 -181870 -181870 109179379 109179379 96119535 96119535 96119535 true Middle East 1 1 Grantmaking Various 92146679 Europe 0 0 Grantmaking Various 306480 1 1 1 1 92453159 92453159 Middle East See Attached Listin 438 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US Some of the volunteers and administrators are residing in Israel and are in contact with the recipients on a recurring basis by telephone and email and with on site visits.
