The Bystander Effect is Alive and Well

The first time I heard of the “bystander effect,” I was a child listening to adults talk about the Kitty Genovese murder in Queens, New York. Apparently bystanders heard the screams for help of 28-year old Kitty Genovese as she was being stabbed to death outside her apartment building but didn’t come to her aid, out of fear. The phrase was coined to shame those who were complicit or didn’t come to the aid of a victim in need out of fear for their own personal safety.  Nearly 60 years later – thanks to social media – the world is now “watching” human beings being murdered and a country – Ukraine – be destroyed in what could be collectively called the NATO Bystander Effect: 30 countries afraid to really help out of fear of a madman.

Executive Compensation at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (2020)

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ) is a tax-exempt, non-profit 501 (c) 3 founded by a rabbi in 1983 as a way to “bless Israel and the Jewish people around the world with humanitarian care and life-saving aid” while “building bridges between Christians and Jews.”

There are 9 independent voting members (directors) of the governing body, although 10 are listed on the most recent Form 990 (2020) (with 2 directors – Ed Frankel (a director through 6/20) and Keith Frankel related), which appears to be due to timing differences. 8 of the directors are male while 2 are female (note:  the Form 990 does not report gender; determinations were made based on name and google searches).

How Revenue is Spent at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (2020)

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ) is a tax-exempt, non-profit 501 (c) 3 founded by a rabbi in 1983 as a way to “bless Israel and the Jewish people around the world with humanitarian care and life-saving aid” while “building bridges between Christians and Jews.”

How is revenue spent at IFCJ?  The short answer is that about half of revenue is spent on grants to Jewish organizations – in the US and in Israel – while the other half is spent on fundraising, printing and postage, television and radio airtime, staff compensation, fees for services, office-related expenses, and travel.  For more detail, read on.

Executive Compensation at the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) 2020

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is a non-profit, tax-exempt 501 (c) 3 established in 1913 in the District of Columbia to defend “democratic ideals and eliminate anti-Semitism and bigotry in the United States and around the world, while providing knowledgeable leadership on a national level for the American Jewish community.”

Based in New York City, the ADL has staff in 26 offices nationwide. It is important to point out the ADL really consists of two entities:  the ADL and the Anti-Defamation League Foundation (Foundation) – both of whom operate out of the same office in New York City.  The Foundation helps support the mission of the ADL by providing funds and by managing the endowment and assets held by the Foundation.

Executive Compensation at the American Council on Education

The American Council on Education (ACE) is “the major coordinating body for the nation’s colleges and universities” to shape policy which would lead one to think the ACE is a trade association.  Although ACE is a membership organization (with a reported 1,700 colleges and universities as members that paid about $4,700 each annually), membership dues only make up about 20% of revenue.  ACE is actually a tax-exempt, non-profit 501 (c) 3 reliant on several sources of revenue:  membership dues, royalties, government contracts, rent income, contributions, gifts, and grants, and registration fees.
