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.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 3 · Compensation committee
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
  • 5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues
  • 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues
  • 6a · Pay contingent on this organization's net earnings
  • 6b · Pay contingent on a related organization's net earnings
  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments
  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Schedule J, Part I, Line 3
Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 - The Fund for the Arts Compensation Committee includes a Chair, the Fund for the Arts Board Chair, the Chair of the Finance & Audit Committee, and the Chair of the Campaign Committee. Members of the committee review a summary of accomplishments for the year, and the compensation data developed from the review of other Forms 990. Recommendations related to the CEO and other executive compensation are discussed and voted by the Compensation Committee in an executive session, and meeting minutes are recorded. Recommendations are then taken to the organization's Executive Committee and/or Board for their final review and approval.

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.
