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
One person listed in 990 Part VII received a severance payment from Woodwell Climate Research Center. Additional details are available to the IRS upon request.
Part I, Line 7
At times the Organization provides employees with additional performance-based compensation. At the discretion of the President/CEO, the bonus provided in 2022 for all staff was provided to recognize excellent work by those individuals over the prior fiscal year. The amount provided was the same 3% of base compensation for all and was determined an appropriate amount by the President/CEO. The President/CEO's employment contract provides for a merit based bonus if approved by the Board of Directors. The Board determines incentive goals each year and then annually determines whether sufficient progress toward those goals has been made. In 2022 the Board approved a bonus to the President/CEO in the amount indicated based on successful attainment of those incentive goals.

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.
