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)

Pt I Line 3
LGKAN has no employees and none of its officers or directors are compensated by it. Let's Grow Kids, Inc., a related organization, uses Form 990s of other organizations and compensation surveys or studies to determine the compensation of its officers, managers and other key employees with its Board of Directors or compensation committee contemporaneously documenting its deliberations and approval.

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.
