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.

  • 3 · Compensation committee

  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Part I, Line 7
The Executive Review and Compensation Committee is composed of six independent board members. A written evaluation is prepared after input has been solicited from all board members. Performance is gauged on the evaluation and particularly against specific targets that were predefined by the board. The committee reviews compensation data supplied by an outside compensation consultant based on organizations of similar size. Additionally, the committee looks at 990 data from other similar organizations.
Part II - Deferred Compensation Plan
In 2015, the organization adopted a deferred compensation agreement for the Chief Executive Officer under Internal Revenue Code 457. The organization's reserve under the deferred compensation plan totaled $350,225 for the year ended June 30, 2025, and is included in accrued expenses together with an amount representing investment earnings on the unpaid balance. This amount represents five years' worth of contributions/disbursements. The employee will have no rights nor will be paid until five years following each contribution date provided the employee has been employed by the organization continuously until that time.

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
