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 1A
- TAX INDEMNIFICATION AND GROSS-UP PAYMENTS: WATER MISSION PROVIDES TAX EQUALIZATION AND RELATED SERVICES TO EXPATRIATES SERVING ABROAD AND HAS CONTRACTED WITH A THIRD PARTY TO SUPPORT STAFF IN THIS MANNER. ONE OF THE PERSONS LISTED IN PART VII, SECTION A, LINE 1A HAS SERVED ABROAD AND RECEIVED THE BENEFIT OF THESE SERVICES." TRAVEL FOR SPOUSES OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS: THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOGNIZES THAT SPOUSES AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS ARE OFTEN PASSIONATE AMBASSADORS AND MINISTRY PARTNERS WHOSE FAMILIARITY, SUPPORT, AND DIRECT INVOLVEMENT CAN EXPAND THE IMPACT OF THE MISSION OF HONORING GOD BY BUILDING SAFE WATER, SANITATION, AND HYGIENE SOLUTIONS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES AND DISASTER AREAS. MANAGEMENT HAS IMPLEMENTED THE BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION TO ACTIVELY CULTIVATE THE INVOLVEMENT AND EDUCATION OF SPOUSES AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS OF BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF IN MINISTRY ACTIVITY THROUGH VOLUNTEER SERVICES, TRAINING, DISCIPLESHIP, PRAYER, AND SHARING ABOUT THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS AND GOD'S WORK THROUGH WATER MISSION. LISTED PERSONS WHO TRAVELED WITH A SPOUSE AND/OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER(S) WERE AS FOLLOWS: SEVEN INDIVIDUALS LISTED IN PART VII, SECTION A, LINE 1A WERE ACCOMPANIED BY A SPOUSE AND/OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER(S) ON MINISTRY ACTIVITIES. AMOUNTS PAID WERE NOT TREATED AS TAXABLE TO THE PARTICIPANTS BECAUSE THE ACTIVITIES WERE CONSISTENT WITH THE BONA FIDE MINISTRY PURPOSES OF WATER MISSION. NO BOARD MEMBERS, OFFICERS, OR HIGHLY COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES WERE ACCOMPANIED BY A FAMILY MEMBER NOT ON MINISTRY ACTIVITY. NO WRITTEN POLICY WAS IN PLACE AT THE TIME, BUT THE CHAIRMAN DETERMINED THAT PAYMENT OF THESE COSTS WAS BOTH MINIMAL AND WOULD FOSTER SPOUSE PARTICIPATION AND EDUCATION ABOUT THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS AND WATER MISSION'S WORK.
