The most significant activities Operation Exodus USA (oeusa) pursues in order to fulfill its charitable humanitarian mission include facilitating emigration of needy and persecuted jewish persons from the former soviet union and elsewhere to israel. To accomplish this mission oeusa conducts programs to inform both the jewish community and christians in the US about the jewish religion, jewish history, culture, and heritage. This education includes information about persecution of jewish people in the former soviet union and elsewhere and the urgency of assisting them. The financial information necessary to prepare the organization's 2021 form 990 was gathered throughout 2021 by accounting staff and then verified by its treasurer. Fiscal reports, including profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and budget projections were distributed quarterly and reviewed and adopted by the organization's board at board meetings.

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
