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
The board of directors decided to allow Brian Mosley an additional benefit of having family members travel with him occasionally throughout the year as part of his compensation package. The total family travel expense tracked during the fiscal year was approximately $1,712. This was treated as a non-taxable benefit.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
RightNow Ministries has set aside cash, cash equivalents, and investments for the purpose of paying deferred compensation to Marty Mosley upon retirement, death, or disability. This agreement is an unfunded deferred compensation plan for tax-exempt organizations and as such deferred compensation is included in income for the recipient upon receipt. The assets held for the deferred compensation liability consist of cash and cash equivalents and investments totaling $184,534 for the year ended June 30, 2024. No contributions were made during the year ended June 30, 2024.
