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

Answered yes

  • 3 · Compensation committee
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments

  • 5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues
  • 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues
  • 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 PRESIDENT AND CEO IS ENTITLED TO AN ANNUAL BONUS PURSUANT TO HER EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT AT THE DISCRETION OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE FOUNDATION'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE CONVENES EACH YEAR TO DETERMINE IF THE PRESIDENT HAS EXCEEDED CERTAIN PERFORMANCE-BASED CRITERIA, AND IF SHE HAS, THEY WILL AUTHORIZE A BONUS. IN CALENDAR YEAR 2023, THE PRESIDENT RECEIVED A $52,530 DISCRETIONARY BONUS. THE FOUNDATION HAS A BONUS POLICY IN PLACE THAT PERMITS BONUSES TO OTHER EMPLOYEES BASED ON CERTAIN FACTORS: RELOCATION BONUSES, SIGN-ON BONUSES, RETENTION BONUSES AND PERFORMANCE BONUSES. IN CALENDAR YEAR 2023, THE FOUNDATION ISSUED A SMALL BONUS TO ONE INDIVIDUAL REPORTED ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE J. DINA VALENTI RECEIVED A DISCRETIONARY BONUS IN CALENDAR YEAR 2023 FOR EXCEEDING CERTAIN PERFORMANCE-BASED OBJECTIVES ESTABLISHED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THE DETERMINATION TO ISSUE A BONUS IS BASED ON A RECOMMENDATION BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE TO THE FULL BOARD, FOR BOARD APPROVAL. THESE INDIVIDUALS DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS TO AWARD THE BONUS. THE AMERICARES STAFF ARE THE MAIN DRIVER OF ALL OF OUR WORK IN THE WORLD AND, AS SUCH, WE STRIVE TO RECOGNIZE THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS CONSISTENTLY IN WAYS THAT ARE COMPETITIVE, EQUITABLE AND TRANSPARENT, AS LAID OUT IN OUR COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY. THERE ARE A SMALL NUMBER OF CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH WE MAY NEED TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THIS BASE COMPENSATION IN ORDER TO RECOGNIZE THE NEEDS AND EFFORTS OF OUR STAFF. THIS POLICY OUTLINES THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH BONUS PAY WILL BE CONSIDERED. HOWEVER, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT, AS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, AMERICARES ALSO TAKES OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DONORS AND FUNDERS VERY SERIOUSLY. AS SUCH, WE CONSIDER BONUS PAY TO BE A VERY RARE OCCURRENCE, ONLY EMPLOYED WHEN THERE IS CLEAR NEED.

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.
