This package includes companion travel for an annual retreat, reimbursement of certain home office expenses and a small discretionary spending account. All of these items are grossed up for taxes and are included in the federal form W2 of the officer. Part I, Line 1b President's Employment agreement provides specific allowances for items marked YES- details available on request. Part II, Line 1: Please see Schedule O, Part VI, for more about the executive compensation process. The following important points should also be noted: 1. For more than 40 years, 100% of the honoraria from each and every one of Jim Wallis's speaking engagements has gone, not to Jim Wallis himself, but directly from the hosting organization to Sojourners. This Sojourners revenue, generated by Jim Wallis's speaking engagements, sustains our work and makes a major six-figure contribution to our revenue year after year. 2. Over 43 years of working at Sojourners, Wallis's salary averaged near subsistence level, for many years far less than other members of his organization by design, and far less than the honoraria revenue he generated year after year. 3. The standards the board chose for all Sojourners organizational salaries are based on comparable market rates in Washington DC for non-profit organizations based on position, size of organization and years of experience. 4. Only in the past few years, with Wallis in his sixties, did the Sojourners board decide it wanted to increase his salary to compensate for years of underpayment and to create a basic retirement plan for him and his family. 5. The board also noted that the value of Jim's public profile, global credibility and access to many leaders in public life is priceless. 6. As required by law, total compensation reported here includes, among other things, the cost of health insurance (an employer-paid benefit provided to all Sojourners staff), and contributions for retirement and life insurance: Jim's actual salary for 2014 was 180,000.

The federal form 990 is reviewed and approved by the Chief Financial Officer and the return is signed, after review, by another officer of the corporation. Prior to filing the form 990, a PDF version of the return is sent to all board members. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Key employees, officers, and members of the Board of Directors are required to review the Conflict of Interest policy and acknowledge that they have done so in writing to the organization. Annually, each of the above individuals must complete a disclosure form identifying any potential relationships, positions, or circumstances in which the individual, member of their family, or an organization in which the individual serves as an owner, officer, or director is involved that he or she believes could contribute to a conflict of interest. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The salary and benefits of the President are reviewed annually by an independent committee of the Board of Directors based on market data for similar positions in the Washington DC area. The committee meets in executive session and therefore no minutes are maintained for these meetings. However, the decisions reached by the compensation committee are memorialized in a compensation agreement between the organization and the President which details all compensation and fringe benefits to be received in the upcoming year. Key employees and compensated officers of the corporation are subject to the salary administration system of the organization as are all other employees. The salary ranges for each position were determined through market based salary surveys for nonprofits of similar size and scope. Employees' pay is maintained within these market based ranges and subject to annual review and with a possibility of merit increase. Salary administration is managed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President for Human Resources. All salary decisions are documented in the employees personnel file. Please see Schedule J, Part III, for more about executive compensation details Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 Not made available to the public.
