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)

Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Travel for companions
Regarding travel for companions, KU Endowment's written guidelines are as follows, "for spouse expenses to be reimbursable, the expense must be required by your supervisor and it is expected that the event in which your spouse is included will include spouses of guests, and both requirements should be stated on the reimbursement request." In keeping with this policy, travel expenses are reimbursed, and not treated as compensation, for a spouse to accompany an officer to assist in a volunteer capacity with donor development at several events, which also required attendance by the officer.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Health or social club dues or initiation fees
Country club dues were paid on behalf of two officers and two highly compensated employee to promote fundraising efforts. These amounts are treated as compensation to these employees.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
The Nonqualified Retirement Plan for Employees of the Kansas University Endowment Association (the "Nonqualified Plan'), is a supplemental nonqualified retirement plan described in Internal Revenue Code section 457(f) that provides benefits in excess of the limits imposed by Internal Revenue Code sections 401(a)(17) and 415 under The Kansas University Endowment Association's qualified retirement plan. A participant's Nonqualified Plan benefit vests on the earlier of the participant's attainment of age 65 or termination of employment without cause, and the benefit is paid in a lump sum within 60 days following the participant's termination of employment. During the year, three executive officers participated in the Nonqualified Plan and had deferred benefits reported in Sch. J, Part II, column C in the amounts of $359,978 for Dale Seuferling, $81,105 for James G. Clarke, and $64,793 for D. Jerome Davies. The amount reported for Dale Seuferling is column (F) is included in B(iii) as other reportable compensation. This amount is a payout of the nonqualified retirement plan and was included in column (C) of previously filed Forms 990. Stacy Nuss became newly vested and had deferred benefits reported in the amount of $11,743.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 7 Non-fixed payments
ONE OFFICER AND ONE "HIGHEST COMPENSATED EMPLOYEE" RECEIVED BONUS PAYMENTS THAT RESULTED FROM AN INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN. ONE OFFICER RECEIVED A BONUS PAYMENT FOR EXEMPLARY SERVICE DURING THE YEAR. KU ENDOWMENT PROVIDES AN ANNUAL REVIEW OF ALL EMPLOYEE'S COMPENSATION AND THE BONUS PAYMENTS WERE APPROVED BY THE EXECUTIVE STAFF COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, AND THAT, WHEN COMBINED WITH EACH EMPLOYEES' REGULAR COMPENSATION, IS WITHIN THE BENCHMARK RANGE OF COMPARABLE SALARIES FOR EACH POSITION WITHIN KU ENDOWMENT'S MARKET PEERS.

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.
