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

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 3
THE BOARD REVIEWS AND APPROVES NEW COMPENSATION OFFERINGS (INCLUDING SALARY AND BENEFITS) AND ANY CHANGES TO COMPENSATION FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. IN SO DOING, THE BOARD HAS DONE THE FOLLOWING TO ENSURE THE COMPENSATION IS REASONABLE: (1) REVIEW HAS BEEN COMPLETED BY AN INDEPENDENT GROUP, WHICH INCLUDES BOARD MEMBERS (WHO RECEIVE NO COMPENSATION FROM THE ORGANIZATION); (2) THE REVIEW USES RELEVANT COMPARABILITY DATA; AND (3) COMPENSATION DECISIONS ARE DOCUMENTED IN OFFICIAL BOARD MEETING 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.
