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)

Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Travel for companions
IN 2023, ANABELLA WASSERMAN, WIFE OF SCOTT WASSERMAN, PRESIDENT/CEO OF UNBOUND THROUGH JULY 2023, TRAVELED INTERNATIONALLY WITH MR. WASSERMAN AND OTHER UNBOUND STAFF TO PARTICIPATE IN PROJECT MENTORING/MONITORING. UNBOUND COMPENSATED MS. WASSERMAN FOR HER TIME AS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AND PAID FOR HER AIRFARE BECAUSE HER PARTICIPATION WAS FOR BONA FIDE BUSINESS PURPOSES. MS. WASSERMAN'S LONG-STANDING RELATIONSHIP WITH UNBOUND, PREVIOUS INVOLVEMENT LEADING SEVERAL CHURCH MISSION TRIPS, BEING A NATIVE OF GUATEMALA AND BEING BI-LINGUAL ARE JUST A FEW OF THE MANY ATTRIBUTES THAT ENABLE HER TO WORK SUCCESSFULLY AND TO HELP UNBOUND BUILD MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS WITH PROJECT STAFF AND SPONSORED FAMILIES.

SCOTT WASSERMAN RECEIVED SEVERANCE IN THE AMOUNT OF $161,614. SHAH RAHMAN RECEIVED SEVERANCE IN THE AMOUNT OF $23,245.
