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.

Part I, Line 3
The Executive Committee shall have a Compensation Subcommittee that approves key elements of an overall compensation program which may include performance based compensation. The Compensation Subcommittee shall include at least three members of the Executive Committee and be chaired by the Immediate Past Chair of the Board of Directors. The President of the Foundation and the President of the University of Illinois shall serve as ex officio non-voting members of the Compensation Subcommittee and shall not count toward a quorum. The Compensation Sub-committee (committee) uses comparability data that is prepared by or commented upon by a competent professional. The data reflects similar organizations and/or entities from which the Foundation may attract executive talent and provides compensation levels paid by similarly situated organizations for functionally comparable positions. The President of the Foundation may assume the task of collecting the data and using it, along with a Foundation philosophy/strategy regarding compensation to make recommendations to be approved by the committee for compensation packages of any disqualified person except him/herself. The committee should review the information presented, consider the recommendation of the President and debate the issues of compensation for each individual openly and should, thereafter, make a decision by voting. The committee reviews compensation of all disqualified persons including all employees who have substantial influence over the affairs of the organization. Substantial influence is defined as having ultimate responsibility for implementing the decisions of the governing body or for supervising the management, administration, or operation of the organization. These positions include the President/CEO,employed Secretary and Assistant Secretaries, employed Treasurer and Assistant Treasurers, Chief Investment Officer, Controller, and any person who manages a discreet segment or activity of the organization that represents a substantial portion of the activities, assets, income or expenses of the organization. This process in undertaken for each position on an annual basis.
Part I, Line 7
Edward Creedon and Jaime Davis received a portion of their compensation based on qualitative and quantitative performance goals that require a level of discretion by management.
Additional Supplemental Information
The Vice Chancellors for Institutional Advancement at each university within the University of Illinois system (Chicago, Springfield, and Urbana-Champaign) share a reporting line to the Chancellor at each university as well as the University of Illinois Foundation President. They provide services similar to University of Illinois Foundation key employees, however they are paid directly by the University of Illinois which is not a related organization per IRS definition. The University of Illinois Foundation's compensation subcommittee does review the compensation of the Vice Chancellors.
