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 4
THE MILITARY OFFICERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA SCHOLARSHIP FUND DOES NOT DIRECTLY COMPENSATE ANY OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR BOARD MEMBERS BUT RECEIVES ALL STAFF SUPPORT FROM THE MILITARY OFFICERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA (MOAA). SALARIES OF MOAA OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES WHO SUPPORT THE SCHOLARSHIP FUND ARE ALLOCATED ON A PERCENTAGE OF TIME SPENT BASIS. ALL OF THE OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES OF MOAA SUPPORT BOTH ORGANIZATIONS, AS WELL AS THE MOAA FOUNDATION. THE MILITARY OFFICERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA UTILIZES THE FOLLOWING WHEN ESTABLISHING THE COMPENSATION: THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD APPOINTS A PRESIDENTIAL ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE TO EVALUATE THE CEO'S PERFORMANCE ALIGNED WITH OUR STRATEGIC GOALS USING DATA, INPUT FROM THE CEO, CORPORATE OFFICERS AND VICE PRESIDENTS, AND BOARD MEMBER FEEDBACK. ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE RELAYS ITS FINDINGS TO THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE WHICH USES FORMS 990 FROM OTHER MILITARY VETERAN NON-PROFITS; AND SALARY SURVEY DATA FROM THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF ASSOCIATION EXECUTIVES' (ASAE) ASSOCIATION AND COMPENSATION STUDY, ASSOCIATIONS TRENDS, THE COMPENSATION REPORT, AMONG OTHERS, TO DETERMINE FAIR AND REASONABLE COMPENSATION FOR THE PRESIDENT. ASAE, FOR EXAMPLE, PUBLISHES AN ANNUAL NATIONAL COMPENSATION SURVEY OF PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE SCOPE AND SIZE OF THE ASSOCIATION; TYPE OF INDUSTRY; ANNUAL GROSS REVENUES AND LOCATION OF ASSOCIATION HEADQUARTERS. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE THEN MEETS AND REVIEWS ALL COMPARABILITY DATA; AND RECOMMENDS ANNUAL COMPENSATION TO THE ENTIRE BOARD WHO DELIBERATE, DOCUMENT, AND APPROVE THE PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL COMPENSATION. MINUTES OF BOTH THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND CLOSED BOARD DELIBERATIONS ARE DOCUMENTED. THE PROCESS WAS LAST UNDERTAKEN IN 2023. FOR OTHER OFFICERS, VICE-PRESIDENTS AND KEY EMPLOYEES, HUMAN RESOURCES REVIEWS COMPETITIVE MARKET ANALYSIS BY AN INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT (PRM CONSULTING) WHICH DETERMINES THE APPROPRIATE PAY CORRIDOR FOR EACH POSITION. PRM MATCHES MOAA POSITION DESCRIPTIONS TO THE SAME OR SIMILAR POSITIONS COVERED IN THE MOST RELEVANT PUBLISHED PAY SURVEYS. ONCE MATCHED, MOAA IS GIVEN A COMPETITIVE CORRIDOR FOR EACH POSITION. PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS ARE ALSO USED IN DETERMINING COMPENSATION. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE THEN MEETS AND REVIEWS COMPARABILITY DATA; AND RECOMMENDS PERCENT INCREASE TO THE PERSONNEL BUDGET LINE TO THE ENTIRE BOARD FOR DELIBERATION AND APPROVAL. MINUTES OF BOTH THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND CLOSED BOARD DELIBERATIONS ARE DOCUMENTED. ONCE APPROVED, THE PRESIDENT THEN DETERMINES COMPENSATION FOR OFFICERS, VICE-PRESIDENTS AND KEY EMPLOYEES WITHIN BOARD GUIDELINES AND INTENT. THE PROCESS WAS LAST UNDERTAKEN IN 2023.
