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.

Part I, Line 3
Beacon Health Foundation, Inc. uses a related organization's (Beacon Health System, Inc.) compensation review process. This review process includes an extensive examination using comparable market data that is then reviewed by an independent consultant hired by, and reporting to, the board of directors. Recommendations are presented to the board for deliberation and final decision.

The Chief Executive Officer will participate in the plan and will select other participants pursuant to the guidelines set by the employer's board of directors. The employer may make contributions under the plan and has sole discretion over whether to make a contribution. Vesting occurs on January 1 of the fifth year for which such contributions are made for participants who have been continuously employed. The plan also allows vesting to occur if the participant attains the age of 62.
