“Officers and highest paid independent contractors: Activity of Eshel reflected in this form takes place exclusively in Israel; there is no activity taking place in the U.S. All compensation reported in Part VII was paid exclusively in Israel; no compensation has been paid to any Eshel employee in the U.S. or any other locale outside of Israel. Accordingly, no forms W-2 are issued for compensation paid.”

“Process used to review Form 990: The organization hires an independent accounting firm to review Form 990 prepared by the organization's accounting staff. All Board members and officers review a copy of the Form 990 before it is filed with the IRS.”

“Conflict of interest policy monitoring & enforcement: Eshel operates with the administrative support of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, Inc. ("JDC"). By virtue of this administrative support, the policies of the JDC apply to Eshel, including a whistleblower policy and the document retention and destruction policy. This organization has adopted JDC's conflict of interest policy. All of the directors have confirmed that they have read and understood the conflict of interest policy and that to the best of their knowledge, they have no conflicts of interest with the organization.”

“Process for determining compensation: JDC'S Human Resources Committee has been presented with and has reviewed the total compensation of Eshel's officers and highly compensation professional staff during its December 2018 meeting for 2019 compensation.”

“Compensation from an unrelated organization: Yossi Heiman spends 100% of his time engaged in activities that support Eshel; however, his compensation is paid by an affiliated entity, and not directly by Eshel. Compensation paid by an unrelated organization for services rendered to Eshel is required to be disclosed in Part VII, column (D) and schedule J Part II as though it had been paid by Eshel.”

As of 12/1/19 Eshel was legally dissolved with all its programmatic activities transferred to Joint Israel.”
