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 1a: Relevant information in regards to selections on 1a.
Part II, Compensation from Unrelated Organizations
KEY EMPLOYEES RECEIVED NO DIRECT COMPENSATION FROM ANY UNRELATED OR RELATED ORGANIZATIONS.
Part III, Additional Information
THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SETTING COMPENSATION LEVELS FOR DISQUALIFIED TEAM MEMBERS AS DEFINED BY THE IRS. THESE LEVELS ARE BASED UPON THE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY ADOPTED, TWO THIRD-PARTY SALARY AND COMPENSATION SURVEYS, GOODWILL INDUSTRIES INTERNATIONAL RESOURCES, AND THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE OF THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS. TO FAIRLY COMPENSATE THESE KEY TEAM MEMBERS, THE COMMITTEE CONSIDERS THE FACT THAT THESE KEY TEAM MEMBERS HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR MULTIPLE ENTITIES TO INCLUDE COLUMBUS COMMUNITY CAMPUS, GOODWILL INDUSTRIES OF THE SOUTHERN RIVERS (GOODWILLSR), AND POWERWORKS INDUSTRIES, INC.(PWI).COLLECTIVELY THESE ENTITIES REPRESENT MORE THAN 730 TEAM MEMBERS AND GENERATE AN ANNUAL BUDGET OF NEARLY $38.5 MILLION WHILE SERVING MORE THAN 29,362 PEOPLE ANDMAKING 4,679 JOB CONNECTIONS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE LEVEL OF EXPERTISE REQUIRED TO MANAGE MULTIPLE ENTITIES TO ACCEPTABLE PERFORMANCE LEVELS IS CRITICAL TO THE SUSTAINED SUCCESS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE.
