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)
- Part I, Line 1a
- Travel for the spouse of the President/CEO is permitted, when applicable, with prior approval from an Officer of the Board of Directors. Receipts are required to be submitted for reimbursement of all travel expenses, outside of per diems. The travel expenses are not taxable as the Board considers the travel to be for bona fide business purposes. The Organization maintained offices in both Brunswick, Georgia and Atlanta, Georgia through December 2024. At times, working out of the Atlanta office made the CEO more available and flexible to last-minute travel requirements out of the Atlanta International Airport and accessible for meetings with the Organization's leadership, donors, and other partners in the Atlanta area. The CEO's duties include oversight of the Organization's operations and financial management, which required his presence in Brunswick at the Organization's headquarters office. Therefore, at the direction of the Organization's Board and for the benefit of the Organization, the CEO split his time working from both the Brunswick headquarters office and the Organization's remote office in Atlanta, Georgia. In order to accommodate this need, the Organization's Executive Committee approved a housing allowance in recognition of the CEO's duplicative housing expenses in connection with this dual working arrangement. The housing allowance benefit was appropriately treated as additional reportable compensation to the CEO and was paid through February 2024. After that date, travel was reimbursed in lieu of the housing allowance, while the Organization maintained a remote office in Atlanta, Georgia. At that time, given the nature and structure of the management team, it was determined that needed travel would be reimbursed in lieu of the monthly housing allowance. Since December 2024, the headquarters in Brunswick, GA is the only office maintained by the Organization. These arrangements, together with the CEO's overall compensation arrangements, were reviewed and approved by an independent Executive Committee of the Board pursuant to the compensation-setting process further described in Schedule O.
- Part I, Line 4b
- In 2021, the Organization entered into a nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement with its CEO, Steven G. Stirling. The arrangement was reviewed and approved by an independent Executive Committee of the Organization's Board of Directors pursuant to the compensation-setting process further described in Schedule O. Under the arrangement, $25,000 was approved in December 2021, $27,500 was approved in December 2022, $25,000 was approved in December 2023, and $35,000 was approved in November 2024. An additional 4.5 weeks of paid time off were approved as part of the arrangement, and were used during January through March of 2025. The amounts approved in December of 2021, 2022, 2023, and November of 2024 are being reported in this Form 990, Schedule J, Part II, Column B(iii). The $25,000 approved in 2021, $27,500 approved in 2022, and $25,000 approved in 2023 were reported on prior years' returns on Schedule J, Part II, Column C. The $35,000 approved in 2024 and the additional PTO are included as compensation to disqualified persons on this Form 990, Part IX, Line 6. All amounts noted above have been paid to Mr. Stirling in accordance with the deferred compensation arrangement during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. Except for the additional PTO which will be included as reportable income in the 2025 calendar year, all amounts above have been included as reportable income in the 2024 calendar year.
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.
