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)

Part I, Line 3
The executive committee, serving as the compensation committee of the board, reviews comparable salary data made available through community resources (i.e. United Way Services of Greater Cleveland) in determining an appropriate salary level for the executive director. The information in the Forms 990 of organizations of similar size and mission are also surveyed. A confidential memorandum is contemporaneously prepared for the executive committee. The executive committee meets in executive session with the full board of trustees to approve the compensation of the executive director. The decision of the executive committee is approved and documented in the committee minutes.

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.
