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.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 3 · Compensation committee
  • 3 · Compensation survey or study

  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 5
TO ENCOURAGE AND MOTIVATE CERTAIN MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES TO ACHIEVE SPECIFIC OPERATING GOALS, THE SOCIETY USES A MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN (MIP). PARTICIPANTS CAN EARN INCENTIVE COMPENSATION (CALCULATED AS A % OF THEIR BASE SALARY) UNDER A FORMULA-BASED APPROACH THAT COMPARES ACTUAL TO TARGETED RESULTS. TARGETED INCENTIVE AWARDS UNDER THE MIP RANGE FROM 10 TO 20% OF EACH PARTICIPANT'S ANNUAL BASE SALARY. A KEY MIP OPERATIONAL GOAL IS TO ACHIEVE OR EXCEED ANNUAL BUDGETED REVENUES EACH FISCAL YEAR. THIS REVENUE GOAL ACCOUNTS FOR 15% OF EACH PARTICIPANT'S TARGET AWARD FOR THE YEAR.
