| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official | CEO COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED THROUGH A DOCUMENTED PROTOCOL AND PROCESS CONSISTING OF THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS: 1. BOARD OF DIRECTORS OVERSIGHT: CEO PERFORMANCE COMPENSATION IS OVERSEEN BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. SPECIFIC DECISIONS RELATED TO COMPENSATION ARE MADE BY THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION SUBCOMMITTEE WHICH IS COMPOSED OF THE BOARD CHAIR, BOARD TREASURER, AND CHAIR OF THE HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE. ACTIONS ARE REPORTED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS TO UWGPSNJ'S GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE. 2. EXTERNALLY PREPARED COMPARATIVE SALARY DATA: COMPARATIVE SALARY DATA FOR THE CEO HAS BEEN RESEARCHED BY AN INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL COMPENSATION CONSULTANT. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IS PROVIDED WITH CEO SALARY INFORMATION BASED EXTERNAL SURVEYS, CAPTURING NATIONAL, REGIONAL, AND LOCAL COMPENSATION DATA FOR SIMILARLY SIZED ORGANIZATIONS. 3. PERFORMANCE BASED SYSTEM: CEO PERFORMANCE IS ANNUALLY ASSESSED FOR THE CEO BY THE CHAIR, WITH INPUT BY ALL DIRECTORS' THE BOARD'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. THE CEO HAS DOCUMENTED GOALS AND OBJECTIVES ON WHICH PERFORMANCE IS BASED, PLUS DOCUMENTED DETAIL THAT GUIDES THE AWARD OF THE INCENTIVE OPPORTUNITY.

| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees | COMPENSATION FOR OTHER OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES IS DETERMINED UNDER A STRUCTURED PROCESS OVERSEEN BY THE FINANCE & AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD. UNITED WAY USES A SALARY GRADE FRAMEWORK THAT DIFFERENTIATES ROLES BY SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITY, DECISION-MAKING AUTHORITY, FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY, AND LEADERSHIP EXPECTATIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, VICE PRESIDENTS (GRADE 8) ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENTERPRISE-WIDE INITIATIVES AND LONG-TERM STRATEGIC DIRECTION, WHILE MANAGING DIRECTORS (GRADE 7) AND DIRECTORS (GRADE 6) LEAD VERTICALS OR DEPARTMENTS WITH DEFINED BUDGETS AND STAFF OVERSIGHT. BASE SALARY RANGES FOR EACH GRADE ARE REVIEWED ANNUALLY AND INFORMED BY MARKET COMPARABILITY DATA, INCLUDING NONPROFIT AND INDUSTRY COMPENSATION SURVEYS, AS WELL AS PEER UNITED WAY ORGANIZATIONS. ADJUSTMENTS TO OFFICER OR KEY EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION MAY ALSO REFLECT INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE, TENURE, AND SPECIALIZED EXPERTISE. THE COMPENSATION-SETTING PROCESS IS CONDUCTED WITH INDEPENDENCE: RECOMMENDATIONS ARE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE FINANCE & AUDIT COMMITTEE (OR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD, AS APPROPRIATE), WITH THE AFFECTED INDIVIDUAL NOT PRESENT DURING DELIBERATIONS. ALL DECISIONS ARE DOCUMENTED IN COMMITTEE MINUTES AND MAINTAINED AS PART OF THE ORGANIZATION'S PERMANENT RECORDS. THIS PROCESS ENSURES THAT COMPENSATION IS REASONABLE, COMPETITIVE, AND ALIGNED WITH ORGANIZATIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES AND PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS. |

THIS FEE IS INTENDED TO RECOVER THE COSTS INCURRED TO RAISE, COLLECT, ADMINISTER AND DISTRIBUTE GIFTS FROM CAMPAIGN REVENUE. SUCH COSTS INCLUDE FUNDRAISING, MARKETING, PLEDGE PROCESSING, CUSTOMER SERVICE, FINANCE, AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. THIS RATE IS LOWER THAN THE OVERHEAD RATE CALCULATED ABOVE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE COST RECOVERY RATE FOR THE 990 FILLING INCLUDES ACTUAL INVESTMENT INCOME AND GAINS AND LOSSES FOR THE YEAR, WHILE THE COST RECOVERY FEE CALCULATION INCLUDED AMOUNTS UTILIZED THROUGH OUR SPENDING POLICY. A PERCENTAGE OF THE MARKET VALUE OF INVESTMENTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30TH IS USED TO OFFSET EXPENSES. ADDITIONALLY, THE METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATING OVERHEAD ON THE FORM 990 AND OUR COST RECOVERY RATE DIFFERS. THE COST RECOVERY RATE IS INTENDED TO RECOVER OVERHEAD COSTS NET OF OFFSETTING INCOME, SUCH AS RENTAL AND MISCELLANEOUS INCOME AND THE SPENDING POLICY, FROM CAMPAIGN REVENUE ONLY. THE FORM 990 CALCULATION DIVIDES ACTUAL GROSS EXPENSES BY TOTAL REVENUE FROM ALL SOURCES. |
