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.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

SCHEDULE J, PART III
PART I, LINE 1A - FRINGE OR EXPENSE EXPLANATION: CHARTER TRAVEL (MINISTRY-OWNED AIRCRAFT, OTHER MISSIONARY AVIATION, AND CHARTER TRIPS): SAMARITAN'S PURSE PROVIDES CHARTER TRAVEL VIA THE USE OF MINISTRY-OWNED AIRCRAFT BASED IN KENYA, LIBERIA, AND THE UNITED STATES (ALASKA AND NORTH CAROLINA), TO PERFORM ITS EVANGELISM AND RELIEF PROGRAMS; AS WELL AS CHARTER FLIGHTS PROVIDED BY OTHER MISSIONARY AVIATION MINISTRIES OR PRIVATE CHARTERS TO CARRY OUT RELIEF AND MINISTRY PROGRAMS. THESE AIRCRAFT TRANSPORT LISTED PERSONS, AND OTHER PERSONS, IN PERFORMANCE OF MINISTRY PROGRAMS, OFTEN IN AREAS NOT SERVED BY COMMERCIAL AIR TRANSPORTATION. ANY PERSONAL USE AND THE RELATED BENEFIT AMOUNT WAS REPORTED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION PER IRS REGULATIONS. LISTED PERSONS FLOWN ON CHARTER FLIGHTS WERE AS FOLLOWS: EIGHT BOARD MEMBERS, ONE OFFICER, THREE KEY EMPLOYEES, AND TWO HIGHER COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES TRAVELED IN MINISTRY-OWNED OR CHARTERED AIRCRAFT FOR MINISTRY PURPOSES. PORTIONS OF TWO BOARD MEMBERS' TRIPS WERE PERSONAL. VALUE OF TRAVEL EXPENSES WERE IMPUTED TO AND REPORTED AS TAXABLE INCOME. TRAVEL FOR SPOUSE AND/OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER(S): AS A CHRISTIAN MINISTRY, WE BELIEVE THAT MARRIAGE, BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN, WAS CREATED BY GOD (GENESIS 2:24, MATTHEW 19:4-6). WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY PROVIDE A MEANS TO GLORIFY AND SERVE GOD. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF GOD'S DESIGN FOR MARRIAGE IS DISPLAYED THROUGH THE SCRIPTURAL COMPARISON OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUSBAND AND WIFE TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHRIST AND THE CHURCH (EPHESIANS 5:22-27, REVELATION 21:2, 21:9). SAMARITAN'S PURSE ACKNOWLEDGES THE UNIQUE, DISTINCT, AND ELEVATED ROLE OF MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY, AND WE DESIRE TO AFFIRM GOD'S DESIGN FOR MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY AS IT PERTAINS TO CARRYING OUT OUR MISSION AND MINISTRY (MATTHEW 5:14-16). THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FURTHER RECOGNIZES THAT SPOUSES AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS ARE OFTEN PASSIONATE AMBASSADORS AND MINISTRY PARTNERS WHOSE FAMILIARITY, SUPPORT, AND DIRECT INVOLVEMENT CAN EXPAND THE IMPACT OF OUR MISSION AND PURPOSES OF FURTHERING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST (ACTS 1:8). MANAGEMENT HAS IMPLEMENTED THE BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION TO ACTIVELY CULTIVATE THE INVOLVEMENT OF SPOUSES AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS OF BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF IN MINISTRY ACTIVITY, THROUGH VOLUNTEER SERVICES, TRAINING, DISCIPLESHIP, PRAYER, SHARING THE STORY OF OUR WORK, DEVELOPMENT, AND OTHER MINISTRY ACTIVITIES. TRAVEL BY A SPOUSE AND/OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER(S) WAS FOR VOLUNTEERING ON MINISTRY PROJECTS. THE TRAVEL RESULTED IN MINIMAL, IF ANY, ADDITIONAL EXPENSE TO THE MINISTRY. LISTED PERSONS WITH TRAVEL BY A SPOUSE AND/OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER(S) ON MINISTRY ACTIVITY WERE AS FOLLOWS: EIGHT BOARD MEMBERS, ONE OFFICER, TWO KEY EMPLOYEES, AND ONE HIGHER COMPENSATED EMPLOYEE HAD TRAVEL BY A SPOUSE AND/OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER(S) ON MINISTRY ACTIVITY. TWO BOARD MEMBERS AND TWO OFFICERS HAD TRAVEL BY A SPOUSE AND/OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER(S) NOT ON MINISTRY ACTIVITY. VALUE OF TRAVEL EXPENSES WERE IMPUTED TO AND REPORTED AS TAXABLE INCOME. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ADOPTED A POLICY REGARDING THE PRESIDENT/CEO'S TRAVEL FOR FAMILY MEMBERS THAT INCLUDES REPORTING ANY PERSONAL USE AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION. ALSO, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE HAS ESTABLISHED A GUIDELINE ON THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY THE PRESIDENT/CEO FOR PERSONAL USE. TAX INDEMNIFICATION AND GROSS-UP PAYMENTS: FORTY YEARS OF SERVICE AWARD: THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS ADOPTED A POLICY WHERE QUALIFYING EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE FAITHFULLY SERVED THE MINISTRY FOR FORTY YEARS, WILL RECEIVE COMPLIMENTARY MEALS IN THE DINING ROOMS OF SAMARITAN'S PURSE UNTIL RETIREMENT. THE VALUE OF THESE MEALS IS REPORTED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION AND INCLUDED IN THE ANNUAL REASONABLENESS COMPENSATION REVIEW BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE HAS ALSO ESTABLISHED A GUIDELINE ON THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT MAY BE INCURRED ANNUALLY PER EMPLOYEE. ONE BOARD MEMBER RECEIVED A TAXABLE BENEFIT GROSS-UP PAYMENT PERTAINING TO THE FORTY YEARS OF SERVICE AWARD. PERSONAL SERVICES: THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS ADOPTED A POLICY THAT PROVIDES MAINTENANCE AND BOOKKEEPING SERVICES TO THE PRESIDENT/CEO. THE VALUE OF THESE SERVICES IS REPORTED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION AND INCLUDED IN THE ANNUAL REASONABLENESS COMPENSATION REVIEW BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE.
