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 — 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 4a
In accordance with Feeding America's executive transition policies, William Summerfelt and Erica Greeley received severance payments during the calendar year. These payments are reflected in Part VII, Column D and were made in alignment with Feeding America's standard severance agreements for executives. The terms and conditions of these agreements comply with Feeding America's executive compensation policies and are available for review by the Internal Revenue Service upon request.
Part I, Line 7
Feeding America provides performance-based incentive compensation to executives, as disclosed in Schedule J, Part II, Column B-iii. The Executive Compensation Committee of the Board conducts an annual review of executive performance against pre-established goals, retention criteria, and organizational outcomes before approving any performance-based bonuses. Performance-based compensation is structured around key performance indicators (KPIs) aligned with Feeding America's strategic and fiscal year business planning process. These indicators include: - Financial performance, including revenue growth and fiscal responsibility. - Operational impact, measured by the total pounds/meals provided to communities. - Mission-driven outcomes, including non-revenue-based strategic objectives that advance Feeding America's commitment to hunger relief and food security.

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.
