Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

  • Children's Heartlink was formed to save children's lives by transforming pediatric heart care in underserved parts of the world. Global Alliance for Rheumatic and Congenital Hearts is an association of organizations who work together to improve worldwide life-long outcomes in childhood-onset heart disease through empowering patient and family organizations. Noemi de Stroutz provided a grant to Children's Heartlink to create a fund called the "Coherence Fund" to support activities that promote the life-long care and well-being of congential and rheumatic heart disease patients and Children's Hearltink has determined that the best way to achieve the purposes of the Coherence Fund is to provide grants from the Coherence Fund to Global Alliance for Rheumatic and Congenital Hearts to achieve its purposes.
