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.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 3 · Compensation survey or study
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
  • 5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues
  • 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues
  • 6a · Pay contingent on this organization's net earnings
  • 6b · Pay contingent on a related organization's net earnings
  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

PART I, LINE 7
ALL BONUSES ARE BASED ON PERFORMANCE OF THE EMPLOYEES.
FORM 990, PART VII AND SCHEDULE J PAGE 2
IN THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2024, THE ORGANIZATION'S CEO, LAURIE SALLARULO, RECEIVED A ONE-TIME, RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENT TO HER SALARY. THIS ADJUSTMENT WAS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF ONGOING ANNUAL COMPENSATION. THE ADJUSTMENT WAS MADE TO ALIGN THE CEO'S COMPENSATION WITH FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR THE ROLE, AS PRIOR COMPENSATION HAD FALLEN BELOW MARKET. THE REPORTED TOTAL IS ALSO INCLUSIVE OF A BONUS. THE COMPENSATION WAS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY JA USA AND BY OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WITH NO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AMONG THE APPROVING MEMBERS. THE DECISION AND SUPPORTING ANALYSIS WERE CONTEMPORANEOUSLY DOCUMENTED IN THE BOARD'S MINUTES.

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.
