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.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 3
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15: THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT HAVE EMPLOYEES AND DOES NOT COMPENSATE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF ITS BOARD. HOWEVER, CERTAIN OFFICERS AND/OR DIRECTORS ARE COMPENSATED BY A RELATED ORGANIZATION, THE JEWISH COMMUNITY FEDERATION OF SAN FRANCISCO, THE PENINSULA, MARIN AND SONOMA COUNTIES ('JCF'). JCF DOES A COMPENSATION SURVEY AND ANALYSIS FOR THE SENIOR LEVEL POSITIONS. JCF LOOKS AT COMPENSATION THAT IS EQUITABLE INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY FOR THESE POSITIONS. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OFFICERS APPROVE THE COMPENSATION FOR THE CEO. THERE IS A PERIODIC REVIEW OF ALL SALARIES FROM AN INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL COMPENSATION ORGANIZATION. THE REVIEW INCLUDES SIMILAR POSITIONS IN THE NON-PROFIT AND FOR-PROFIT SECTOR LOCALLY AND IS ADJUSTED NATIONALLY. THE COMPENSATION REVIEW ALSO ANALYZES COMPENSATION INFORMATION FROM OTHER FORM 990S FOR SIMILAR ORGANIZATION AS WELL AS MANY OTHER SOURCES OF COMPENSATION DATA.

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.
