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 4B
ELIGIBLE EXECUTIVES (GENERALLY VICE PRESIDENTS AND ABOVE) PARTICIPATE IN A PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES FOR SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS. THE PAYMENT OF BENEFITS UNDER THE PROGRAM, IF ANY, IS ENTIRELY DEPENDENT UPON THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH THE EXECUTIVE TERMINATES EMPLOYMENT WITH THE ORGANIZATION. BENEFITS UNDER THE PROGRAM ARE UNFUNDED AND NON-VESTED. DUE TO THE SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF FORFEITURE PROVISION, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THESE EXECUTIVES WILL EVER RECEIVE ANY BENEFIT UNDER THE PROGRAM. ANY AMOUNT ULTIMATELY PAID UNDER THE PROGRAM TO THE EXECUTIVE IS REPORTED AS COMPENSATION ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN B IN THE YEAR PAID. THERE WERE NO DISTRIBUTIONS FROM A SUPPLEMENTAL NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN DURING THE 2023 CALENDAR YEAR.
