• ANNUAL FUNDING FOR CHP: CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF PITTSBURGH FOUNDATION (FOUNDATION) IS THE SOLE FUNDRAISING ARM OF UPMC CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF PITTSBURGH. THROUGH TARGETED CAMPAIGNS, SPECIAL EVENTS, AND GRANTS, THE FOUNDATION RAISES MONEY TO SUPPORT THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION OF EXCELLENCE IN PATIENT CARE, TEACHING, AND RESEARCH. CHILDREN'S HAS BEEN A CHARITABLE INSTITUTION SINCE ITS INCEPTION AND REMAINS A NON-PROFIT ENTITY. TO ENSURE THE CONTINUATION OF ITS CHARITABLE MISSION, IN JULY 2000, THE FOUNDATION WAS ESTABLISHED AS A SUBSIDIARY OF CHILDREN'S. IT THEN BECAME AN INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATION WHEN THE HOSPITAL MERGED WITH UPMC IN OCTOBER 2001.

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.
