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.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 4B
FORM 990, SCHEDULE J, LINE 4(B) HARLEM CHILDREN'S ZONE HAS A SECTION 457(F) PLAN FOR CERTAIN ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES. THIS GROWTH FUND PLAN ("THE PLAN") IS A TAX-DEFERRED EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN THAT AIMS TO SERVE AS A RETENTION TOOL FOR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, PRINCIPALS AND SENIOR STAFF. HARLEM CHILDREN'S ZONE MAKES AN ANNUAL DEPOSIT INTO THE PLAN THAT IS VALUED AT 150% OF THE INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE'S BONUS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR. THE EMPLOYEE'S ACCOUNT ACCUMULATES ASSOCIATED EARNINGS OR LOSSES ON THE INVESTMENT OF THE CONTRIBUTED AMOUNT IN THE NO MARGIN SENIOR GROWTH FUND, WHICH IS MANAGED BY DUQUESNE FAMILY OFFICE, AT NO COST TO HARLEM CHILDREN'S ZONE OR THE EMPLOYEE. THE AMOUNTS CONTRIBUTED BY HARLEM CHILDREN'S ZONE, ALONG WITH THE ASSOCIATED EARNINGS OR LOSSES, VEST AFTER FIVE YEARS FROM THE DATE OF THE INITIAL CONTRIBUTION AND WILL BE PAID TO ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES WHEN VESTED. TERMINATED EMPLOYEES BECOME VESTED IMMEDIATELY AT THE DATE OF THEIR TERMINATION. EMPLOYEES WHO MEET THE AGE AND SERVICE PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN (AGE VESTING) ARE VESTED IMMEDIATELY UPON MEETING THOSE PROVISIONS. HOWEVER, IF A PARTICIPATING EMPLOYEE LEAVES VOLUNTARILY, INCLUDING RETIREMENT IF THEY HAVE NOT REACHED THE AGE VESTING PROVISIONS, THEN THEIR CUMULATIVE UNVESTED CONTRIBUTION MADE BY HCZ AND ASSOCIATED EARNINGS OR LOSSES ARE FORFEITED. FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2022, EMPLOYEES RECEIVED A PAYOUT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION FROM THE PLAN AND THOSE AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN RECORDED IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (B)(II) AND, BECAUSE THAT PAYOUT REPRESENTS COMPENSATION THAT WAS REPORTED ON PREVIOUS FORMS 990 AS DEFERRED COMPENSATION IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (C), IT IS RECORDED IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (F). GEOFFREY CANADA, AN OFFICER OF HCZ, MET THE AGE AND SERVICE PROVISIONS OF THE 457 (F) PLAN (AGE VESTING) FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2022 THAT RESULTED IN IMMEDIATE VESTING OF HCZ'S GROWTH FUND CONTRIBUTION. THIS AMOUNT IS INCLUDED IN FORM 990, SCHEDULE J, COLUMN B (II). FORMER CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, JIM HUTTER RETIRED IN CALENDAR YEAR 2021; NEVERTHELESS, HE CONTINUED TO PROVIDE CONSULTING SERVICES TO THE ORGANIZATION IN CALENDAR YEAR 2022. AMOUNTS REPORTED IN SCHEDULE J REPRESENT COMPENSATION FOR THOSE CONSULTING SERVICES.
PART I, LINE 7
HARLEM CHILDREN'S ZONE PROVIDES ANNUAL PERFORMANCE BONUSES TO ITS EMPLOYEES. THE BONUSES ARE DETERMINED AND APPROVED BY THE CEO, KWAME OWUSU-KESSE. BONUSES ARE APPROVED IN JUNE AND PAID OUT IN JULY (WHICH IS THE FOLLOWING FISCAL YEAR); HOWEVER, FOR 990 REPORTING PURPOSES, THE BONUS IS BOTH APPROVED AND PAID IN THE SAME CALENDAR YEAR (BUT DIFFERENT FISCAL YEARS); ACCORDINGLY, THE BONUSES ARE REPORTED AS CURRENT COMPENSATION IN COLUMN (B)(II).

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.
