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

Answered yes

  • 3 · Form 990 of other organizations
  • 3 · Compensation survey or study
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
  • 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
  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments
  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

SCHEDULE J, PART III
THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IS THE ONLY OFFICER WHO IS COMPENSATED BY CARING FOR DENVER FOUNDATION FOR SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE FOUNDATION. THE RELATED ORGANIZATION COMPENSATION DISCLOSED FOR OTHER BOARD MEMBERS AND OFFICERS IS FOR SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER AS EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY AND COUNTY. THIS COMPENSATION IS PAID BY THE CITY AND COUNTY, NOT THE FOUNDATION, AND IS NOT FOR SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE FOUNDATION.
