| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 | THE OFFICERS AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ARE PAID BY THE SAINT PAUL FOUNDATION, WHICH IS A RELATED ORGANIZATION. THE SAINT PAUL FOUNDATION HAS THE FOLLOWING COMPENSATION POLICY: CEO COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS: THE SAINT PAUL FOUNDATION UTILIZES AN OUTSIDE THIRD PARTY CONSULTANT TO CONDUCT A CUSTOM SURVEY TO PROVIDE MARKET BENCHMARKING RELATIVE TO THE FOUNDATIONS' CEO POSITION. THE COMPENSATION SURVEY IS GENERALLY CONDUCTED EVERY TWO YEARS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE SURVEY IS TO DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF COMPENSATION THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED COMPETITIVE FOR THE FOUNDATIONS' CEO COMPARED TO TOP EXECUTIVES OF OTHER NONPROFITS WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THOSE OF SIMILAR NATURE AND ASSET SIZE. THE COMPARATOR GROUP, CURRENTLY FOURTEEN LOCAL AND NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, IS REVIEWED BY THE BOARD CHAIR AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. THE COMPARATOR GROUP REFLECTS ORGANIZATIONS WITH SIMILAR ASSET SIZE, COMPLEXITY OF WORK AND POTENTIAL RECRUITMENT MARKET. COMPETITIVE PAY IS DETERMINED BY CALCULATING A BASE MARKET INDEX. THE CALCULATION COMPARES THE FOUNDATIONS' CEO BASE ANNUAL SALARY TO THE MEDIAN BASE ANNUAL SALARIES OF THE SURVEY PARTICIPANTS. A MARKET INDEX BETWEEN 95 AND 105 IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED TO BE MATCHING MARKET INDEX. BENEFIT SURVEY DATA IS GENERALLY COLLECTED EVERY THREE TO FIVE YEARS AND FOCUSES ON BENEFITS PROVIDED EXCLUSIVELY TO THE CEO AND TOP EXECUTIVES. STAFF COMPENSATION: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF STAFF COMPENSATION USING LOCAL INDUSTRY AND NATIONAL COMMUNITY FOUNDATION SURVEY DATA IS GENERALLY CONDUCTED EVERY TWO YEARS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW IS TO DETERMINE COMPARABLE MARKET PAY FOR INDIVIDUAL POSITIONS. FROM SURVEY RESULTS, THE MEAN (AVERAGE) SALARY IS DEFINED AS THE MARKET REFERENCE POINT (MRP). MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM PAY FOR EACH POSITION IS SET AT -/+ 20% OF MRP, AND PAY IS CONSIDERED COMPETITIVE WHEN IT IS WITHIN 10% OF A POSITION'S MRP. IF A POSITION IS UNIQUE TO THE FOUNDATIONS, THE MRP WILL BE BASED ON COMPARISON TO SIMILAR INTERNAL BENCHMARKED POSITIONS. |
