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.

AN ALL-STAFF COMPENSATION STUDY IS CONDUCTED EVERY 3-5 YEARS BY A PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING GROUP THROUGH WHICH COMPARATIVE DATA IS GATHERED REGARDING COMPENSATION FOR SIMILAR ROLES WITHIN SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS (NATIONWIDE) AND WITHIN SIMILARLY-SIZED ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS GEOGRAPHIC AREA. INFORMED BY THAT COMPENSATION STUDY AND THE REVIEW OF SIMILAR ORGANIZATION'S 990S, THE CEO DETERMINES OFFICER'S AND OTHER KEY EMPLOYEE'S SALARIES. SIMILARLY, EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION IS ASSESSED AGAINST NATIONAL, LOCAL, AND INDUSTRY ORGANIZATIONS WITH SIMILAR BUDGETS AND STAFF SIZE. COMPARATIVE ANALYSES ARE EVALUATED BY A COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD. FINAL CEO SALARY IS DETERMINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
