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

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan

  • 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues

  • 6b · Pay contingent on a related organization's net earnings
  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 Arrangement used to establish the top management official's compensation
Pursuant to the bylaws of Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center ("Medical Center"), the Compensation Committee of the board of directors of the Medical Center is charged with reviewing and approving senior executive compensation for the Medical Center and its affiliates and the compensation for any physician who meets the criteria for review and approval by the Committee. The Compensation Committee has adopted a written executive compensation philosophy which it follows when it reviews and approves the compensation and benefits of the organization's senior management. The compensation philosophy is subject to periodic review by the Compensation Committee for continued appropriateness in the current market. With the assistance of independent compensation consultants and information from a variety of sources (specified on Schedule J), the Compensation Committee confirmed the total amounts to be paid to identified executives and physicians were reasonable and comparable to amounts paid by similarly situated organizations to individuals in functionally similar positions. Legal counsel periodically advises the Compensation Committee with respect to federal tax requirements in setting compensation and the establishment of the "rebuttable presumption of reasonableness" under the federal tax law intermediate sanctions rules. The process followed by the Compensation Committee, including a description of the data relied upon and the Compensation Committee's decisions, was thoroughly and contemporaneously documented. The Compensation Committee has expressly reviewed the reasonableness of compensation paid to identified executives and physicians, and has concluded, as the result of a process that is designed to qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness, that all such amounts are reasonable and do not exceed fair market value for the services provided. The Compensation Committee is comprised of members of the Medical Center board of directors who have been determined to be disinterested (which means no committee member has a conflict of interest) for these purposes. The Compensation Committee conducts an ongoing, regular review of the disinterested status of its members, and will take appropriate action with respect to anyone having an interest with respect to one or more executives so as to preserve the disinterested status of the Committee and, as a result, the application of the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4a Severance or change-of-control payment
Michelle M. Stephenson, an employee of Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago until August 2022 and who was an At-Large Director of the Almost Home Kids Board through August 31, 2025, received a payment during the calendar year pursuant to a confidential agreement. The payment is included in Part VII, Column D and Schedule J, Part II, Column B(iii).
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago ("Lurie Children's") maintains a defined contribution supplemental executive retirement plan ("DC SERP"), which was established on January 1, 2017 and is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for certain employees in executive positions for Lurie Children's and its affiliates. The benefits in the DC SERP are in the form of a fixed annual contribution rate and an earnings credit. Each year's contribution and earnings are at risk and will become fully vested and taxable only after five years of future employment service, or upon reaching age 62 with at least three years of service. Several listed persons in this Form 990 participate in the DC SERP, and the unvested contributions made for them are included in Schedule J, Part II, Column (C). The following individuals participated in the DC SERP and received a vested payment during 2024, which is reported in Column B(iii): Derek S. Wheeler, MD $73,312 Fatema Zanzi, Esq. $77,376 Thomas P. Shanley, MD $253,173 CEO Deferred Compensation Listed individual Thomas Shanley MD is the sole participant in an additional supplemental retirement benefit arrangement that began in 2021. He is eligible to earn a benefit that will not become vested for several years. A prorated portion of the benefit (representing the portion earned in 2024) is reported in Column (C) as unvested deferred compensation, and will be reported again as compensation if and when the full benefit becomes vested and is subject to tax. The independent Compensation Committee of the Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center board, whose diligent review and approval process is described elsewhere in these narratives, has reviewed and approved Dr. Shanley's total compensation in a manner that qualifies for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under the federal tax law intermediate sanctions rules, and as part of this review process took into account the benefit being earned under this additional arrangement.
Schedule J, Part II RELATED COMPENSATION
