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.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 7:
EACH YEAR, THE PERFORMANCE OF THE OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES IS EVALUATED BASED ON ACCOMPLISHMENTS RELATIVE TO EACH INDIVIDUAL'S APPROVED ANNUAL OBJECTIVES AND OTHER COMPENSATION FACTORS (AS DESCRIBED ON SCHEDULE O FOR PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15). THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS EVALUATES THE PRESIDENT/CEO BY HAVING EACH BOARD MEMBER SUBMIT AN EVALUATION ON THE PRESIDENT/CEO'S PERFORMANCE TO THE FOUNDATION'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE THEN REVIEWS THESE EVALUATIONS, RECEIVES COMPENSATION BENCHMARKS, AND MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD ON THE COMPENSATION OF THE PRESIDENT/CEO. THE BOARD MEETS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION TO REVIEW THE RECOMMENDATIONS, FINALIZE THE OVERALL EVALUATION AND DETERMINE THE ANNUAL COMPENSATION OF THE PRESIDENT/CEO INCLUDING ANY NON-FIXED PAYMENT THAT MAY BE MADE. THE PRESIDENT/CEO EVALUATES THE PERFORMANCE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM AND DETERMINES ANNUAL COMPENSATION INCLUDING ANY NON-FIXED PAYMENT THAT MAY BE MADE TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ALSO REVIEWS THE COMPENSATION FOR THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM.

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.
