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)

- THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES A HOUSING ALLOWANCE FOR THE CEO. THIS AMOUNT IS CONSIDERED TO BE TAXABLE INCOME TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND IS INCLUDED ON THEIR W-2. AS SUCH, THIS ALLOWANCE IS ALSO INCLUDED ON PART II, COLUMN B(III).
- PART I, LINE 7

ALL BONUS PAYMENTS WERE APPROVED BY THE BOARD OR AN AUTHORIZED COMMITTEE FOLLOWING A REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE AGAINST ESTABLISHED BENCHMARKS. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT SUCH INCENTIVE COMPENSATION IS NECESSARY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN QUALIFIED LEADERSHIP AND ALIGNS WITH BEST PRACTICES IN NONPROFIT EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
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.
