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 — 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 I, LINE 1A
- PURSUANT TO THE ORGANIZATION'S TRAVEL AND REIMBURSEMENT POLICY, THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (CEO) IS ENTITLED TO TRAVEL FIRST CLASS OR BUSINESS CLASS ON FLIGHTS LONGER THAN TWO HOURS TO ENABLE THE CEO TO GET WORK DONE MORE EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY ON LONGER FLIGHTS. HOWEVER, THE CEO MUST GIVE STRONG CONSIDERATION TO THE FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF TRAVELING FIRST OR BUSINESS CLASS. IN ADDITION, THE CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER (CIO) IS ENTITLED TO TRAVEL FIRST CLASS OR BUSINESS CLASS DUE TO FREQUENT INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL. CHILDREN'S DOES NOT TREAT THE PAYMENTS FOR FIRST CLASS TRAVEL AS TAXABLE TO THE CEO AND CIO GIVEN THE BUSINESS PURPOSE ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH FLIGHTS.
