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 — 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
As a general matter, Pew does not provide first-class travel for its directors, officers, or staff. In the case of air travel for Pew business, Pew provides coach class accommodations if the total flight time of all travel segments is less than four hours. If total flight time exceeds four hours or there is a medical necessity, Pew provides its board members with intermediate/business class flight accommodations. If business class is not available for any segment of a trip for which total flight time exceeds four hours or there is a medical necessity, Pew provides first class accommodations and does not treat the cost of the upgrade as taxable income. During the calendar year, five directors were provided with first class air travel for Pew business trips because business class accommodations were not available. The SVP, Partnerships received a gross-up payment to cover tax obligations on reimbursed relocation expenses. This amount was included as taxable compensation on her Form W-2. The CEO was reimbursed $1,995 for legal services and $2,880 for financial planning services. These benefits were treated as taxable compensation to the CEO and included in her Form W-2.
Part I, Lines 4a-b
The SVP, Government Relations received a severance payment of $286,460. The CEO is a participant in a supplemental employee retirement plan that is now frozen. No contributions were made to the plan in 2023. Benefits are payable in the event of termination of employment or death.

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.
