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.

Schedule J

3 · Compensation committee
3 · Compensation survey or study

6a · Pay contingent on this organization's net earnings
6b · Pay contingent on a related organization's net earnings
8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 7: THE ORGANIZATION'S COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ANNUALLY REVIEWS THE PERFORMANCES OF THE EXECUTIVE STAFF AND OTHER STAFF AS IDENTIFIED BY THE COMMITTEE TO DETERMINE IF COMPENSATION IN THE FORM OF BONUSES WILL BE PAID. DURING CALENDAR YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2024, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AWARDED ALL STAFF, INCLUDING THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, A BONUS BASED ON REVIEW OF THEIR PERFORMANCE AND SERVICES TO THE ORGANIZATION.

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.
