APPROXIMATELY 35% OF THE DISTRICT'S RESOURCES ARE DEDICATED TO ATTRACT MEETINGS AND CONVENTIONS THROUGH SALES AND INCENTIVE EFFORTS. APPROXIMATELY 52.5% OF TPID FUNDS ARE USED FOR MARKETING FORT WORTH AS A LEISURE & MEETING DESTINATION, BRINGING ADDITIONAL VISISTORS AND BUILDING OVERALL AWARENESS OF THE CITY AS A TOP CHOICE IN TOURISM. TPID DEDICATES 7.5% OF THE BUDGET FOR GRANTS TO FORT WORTH ARTS ORGANIZATIONS THAT DEMONSTRATE AN ABILITY TO ATTRACT OVERNIGHT VISISTORS AND CONTRIBUTE TO HOTEL ROOM NIGHTS. THE GRANTS ARE ADMINISTERED BY THE FORT WORTH ARTS COUNCIL AND DEMONSTRATE THE SPECIAL CONTRIBUTIONS THESE ORGANIZATIONS MAKE TO OUR LOCAL ECONOMY AND QUALITY OF LIFE. THE REMAINING 5% OF TPID FUNDS ARE DEVOTED TO PERFORMANCE OF SITE VISITS, FAMILARIZATION TOURS, LEGAL, AUDIT AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES. THIS INCLUDES INVESTMENT IN RESEARCH TOOLS THAT ENABLE VISIT FORT WORTH TO EVALUATE AND MEASURE MANY OF THE DISTRICT'S MARKETING EFFORTS.

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 no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
