Supplemental Information
Provide the information, explanation, or descriptions required for Part I, lines 1a, 1b, 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7, and 8, and for Part II. Also complete this part for any additional information.
Return Reference Explanation
Part I, Line 1a Travel for spouse (companion) is available to all Young Life staff when needed for ministry or fundraising purposes. They assist with ministry needs by providing pastoral care - leading others in discussion, prayer, and worship. For fundraising purposes, the spouse's presence is often expected by donors. Travel for ministry or fundraising purposes is for a bona fide business purpose, and it not treated as taxable compensation. Ministerial housing allowances are available to all commissioned or ordained staff who are authorized to perform sacerdotal functions. The CEO, among other qualifying officers and highest compensated employees, received a housing allowance during the year. These allowances are treated as a non-taxable benefit. The health club benefit is offered as a taxable benefit to all full-time Young Life staff. This benefit is available for up to $250 a year.
Part I, Line 7 The CEO's salary agreement provides for a performance bonus adjustment. The board can adjust the bonus based on the percentage of annual goals achieved by the CEO. The bonus percentage adjustment ranges from 0 to 15%. The board encourages the CEO to set annual goals that are, where prudent, specific, measurable, and that include a completion date.
