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.

  • 1a · Tax indemnification and gross-up payments

  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 1A
THE CEO EMERITA, BETH MCCOY, RECEIVED A TAX GROSS-UP IN CALENDAR YEAR 2023. THE AMOUNT IS INCLUDED ON HER FORM W-2 AND DISCLOSED ON THIS RETURN AS OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION. PART I, LINE 4B CEO EMERITA, BETH MCCOY, PARTICIPATED IN AFHU'S SECTION 457(F) PLAN. THERE WAS NO CONTRIBUTION INTO MS. MCCOY'S SECTION 457(F) PLAN IN CALENDAR YEAR 2023.
PART I, LINE 7
AFHU AUTHORIZED BONUSES TO VARIOUS INDIVIDUALS REPORTED ON THE FORM 990 IN CALENDAR YEAR 2023 BASED ON EACH HAVING EXCEEDED CERTAIN OBJECTIVE PERFORMANCE-BASED CRITERIA. BONUSES ARE RECOMMENDED BY THE CEO AND CHIEF HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICER TO THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WHERE SUCH RECOMMENDATIONS ARE DOCUMENTED IN COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES BEFORE ULTIMATELY BEING AUTHORIZED FOR APPROVAL. NO OFFICER HAS INPUT INTO THE AWARDING OF HIS, HER OR THEIR OWN BONUS. THE CEO'S BONUS IS DETERMINED EXCLUSIVELY BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, APPLYING THE SAME METHODOLOGIES AS EMPLOYED WITH ALL OTHER EXECUTIVES, BUT ALSO TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE PARAMETERS OF THE CEO'S WRITTEN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT TO ENSURE THAT HIS COMPENSATION STAYS WITHIN THE APPROPRIATE BENCHMARKS FOR THE INDUSTRY.

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.
