Return Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE J, PART III PART I, LINE 1A - FRINGE OR EXPENSE EXPLANATION: FIRST-CLASS TRAVEL: ONE BOARD MEMBER TRAVELED ONE TIME VIA FIRST-CLASS AIRFARE FOR MINISTRY PURPOSES. THE FLIGHT WAS APPROVED BY MANAGEMENT. TWO KEY EMPLOYEES TRAVELED VIA FIRST-CLASS AIRFARE FOR FIVE TOTAL FLIGHTS FOR MINISTRY PURPOSES. THREE FLIGHTS WERE DUE TO COACH BEING UNAVAILABLE AND TWO FLIGHTS WERE APPROVED BY MANAGEMENT. TWO HIGHER COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES EACH TRAVELED ONE TIME VIA FIRST-CLASS AIRFARE FOR MINISTRY PURPOSES. ONE FLIGHT WAS DUE TO COACH BEING UNAVAILABLE AND ONE FLIGHT WAS APPROVED BY MANAGEMENT. FIVE FAMILY MEMBERS TRAVELED VIA FIRST-CLASS AIRFARE FOR A TOTAL OF ELEVEN FLIGHTS, WHICH WAS REQUESTED BY MANAGEMENT. CHARTER TRAVEL (MINISTRY-OWNED AIRCRAFT, OTHER MISSIONARY AVIATION AND CHARTER TRIPS): SAMARITAN'S PURSE PROVIDES CHARTER TRAVEL VIA THE USE OF MINISTRY-OWNED AIRCRAFT BASED IN BAHAMAS, KENYA, LIBERIA AND THE UNITED STATES (ALASKA, NORTH CAROLINA, AND PUERTO RICO), TO PERFORM ITS EVANGELISM AND RELIEF PROGRAMS; AS WELL AS CHARTER FLIGHTS PROVIDED BY OTHER MISSIONARY AVIATION MINISTRIES OR PRIVATE CHARTERS TO CARRY OUT RELIEF AND MINISTRY PROGRAMS. THESE AIRCRAFT TRANSPORT LISTED PERSONS, AND OTHER PERSONS, IN PERFORMANCE OF MINISTRY PROGRAMS, OFTEN IN AREAS NOT SERVED BY COMMERCIAL AIR TRANSPORTATION. ANY PERSONAL USE FOLLOWED THE BOARD-APPROVED POLICY AND THE RELATED BENEFIT AMOUNT PER IRS REGULATIONS WAS REPORTED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION. LISTED PERSONS FLOWN ON CHARTER FLIGHTS WERE AS FOLLOWS: FIVE BOARD MEMBERS, FOUR OFFICERS, FOUR KEY EMPLOYEES, AND THREE HIGHER COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES TRAVELED IN MINISTRY-OWNED OR CHARTERED AIRCRAFT FOR MINISTRY PURPOSES. A PORTION OF ONE OFFICER'S AND TWO BOARD MEMBER'S TRIPS WERE REPORTED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION. TRAVEL FOR SPOUSE AND/OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER(S): AS A CHRISTIAN MINISTRY, WE BELIEVE THAT MARRIAGE, BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN, WAS CREATED BY GOD (GENESIS 2:24, MATTHEW 19:4-6). WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY PROVIDE A MEANS TO GLORIFY AND SERVE GOD. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF GOD'S DESIGN FOR MARRIAGE IS DISPLAYED THROUGH THE SCRIPTURAL COMPARISON OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUSBAND AND WIFE TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHRIST AND THE CHURCH (EPHESIANS 5:22-27, REVELATION 21:2, 21:9). SAMARITAN'S PURSE ACKNOWLEDGES THE UNIQUE, DISTINCT, AND ELEVATED ROLE OF MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY, AND WE DESIRE TO AFFIRM GOD'S DESIGN FOR MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY AS IT PERTAINS TO CARRYING OUT OUR MISSION AND MINISTRY (MATTHEW 5:14-16). THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FURTHER RECOGNIZES THAT SPOUSES AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS ARE OFTEN PASSIONATE AMBASSADORS AND MINISTRY PARTNERS WHOSE FAMILIARITY, SUPPORT, AND DIRECT INVOLVEMENT CAN EXPAND THE IMPACT OF OUR MISSION AND PURPOSES OF FURTHERING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST (ACTS 1:8). MANAGEMENT HAS IMPLEMENTED THE BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION TO ACTIVELY CULTIVATE THE INVOLVEMENT OF SPOUSES AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS OF BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF IN THE MINISTRY, THROUGH VOLUNTEER SERVICES, TRAINING, DISCIPLESHIP, PRAYER, SHARING THE STORY OF OUR WORK, DEVELOPMENT, AND OTHER MINISTRY ACTIVITIES. TRAVEL BY A SPOUSE AND/OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER(S) WAS FOR VOLUNTEERING ON MINISTRY PROJECTS. THE TRAVEL RESULTED IN MINIMAL, IF ANY, ADDITIONAL EXPENSE TO THE MINISTRY. LISTED PERSONS WITH TRAVEL BY A SPOUSE AND/OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER(S) WERE AS FOLLOWS: FOUR BOARD MEMBERS, TWO OFFICERS, THREE KEY EMPLOYEES AND THREE HIGHER COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES WERE ACCOMPANIED BY A SPOUSE AND/OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER(S) ON MINISTRY ACTIVITY. ONE BOARD MEMBER AND ONE OFFICER WERE ACCOMPANIED BY A SPOUSE AND/OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER(S) NOT ON MINISTRY ACTIVITY. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ADOPTED A POLICY REGARDING THE PRESIDENT/CEO'S TRAVEL FOR FAMILY MEMBERS THAT INCLUDES REPORTING ANY PERSONAL USE AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION. ALSO, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE HAS ESTABLISHED A GUIDELINE ON THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY THE PRESIDENT/CEO FOR PERSONAL USE. TAX INDEMNIFICATION AND GROSS-UP PAYMENTS: ONE KEY EMPLOYEE RECEIVED A GROSS-UP PAYMENT. THE PAYMENT WAS RELATED TO FAMILY MEMBER EDUCATION. THE PAYMENT WAS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY BOTH THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND WAS TREATED AS TAXABLE. PERSONAL SERVICES: THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS ADOPTED A POLICY THAT PROVIDES MAINTENANCE AND BOOKKEEPING SERVICES TO THE PRESIDENT/CEO. THE VALUE OF THESE SERVICES ARE REPORTED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION AND INCLUDED IN THE ANNUAL REASONABLENESS COMPENSATION REVIEW BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE.
