The EVP has been the victim of a vitriolic, unfounded and unsubstantiated attacks from unknown sources - especially over the past two months since the start of Operation Protective Edge. Our records and accounts are available to be inspected and audited. We know of anonymous mails sent to various organizations accusing us of fraud and personal; gain , none of which have ever been proven to be true. As an organization recognized by the Israeli Fire Service and the Israeli Government, It is ludicrous to suggest that we are anything but a legitimate organization with a mission to help the People of Israel in their time of need.
As a volunteer and a donor I have never had any issues with the financial integrity of this organization. I participate with this organization on a regular basis and see first hand what is involved. They have very lengthy and thorough operational guidelines, procedures, protocols in place that serve the mission and purposes for the organization and the volunteers. Any training that is done in the US has to be funded in order to cover bringing the trainers over here, the facility use while training, training materials, and housing while they are here. All these things cost. I have not seen any evidence, indication or concern of this organization using their funds for anything but the organization and it's purposes.
Review from Guidestar
To substantial donor,
The organization does not use its donations for "pleasure". I would recommend that you contact us directly with any question you have and we will be more then happy to present you with documentation.
There is a deep concern by some donors that the vast majority of the donations being collected by this non-profit are not being used for the intended purposes, but are instead being used to fund personal travel and other expenses of the staff. There are no indications that any pf the money is being used for the purposes stated in the mission statement.
