| Explanation | MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF THE TEXAS GULF COAST AND LOUISIANA, INC. DOES NOT PROVIDE CASH GRANTS TO INDIVIDUALS, BUT RATHER GRANTS WISHES TO SELECT BENEFICIARIES THAT MEET THE SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR THE WISH-GRANTING PROGRAM. THE ORGANIZATION GENERALLY ALLOCATES FUNDS DIRECTLY TO THE VENDORS FOR THE WISH EXPENSES, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TRAVEL STIPENDS (I.E. MEALS, TIPS, GAS, ETC.) FROM A STANDARDIZED WISH BUDGET. ALL WISH EXPENSES ARE DEVELOPED BY THE VICE PRESIDENT OF PROGRAM SERVICES AND ARE APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT & CEO. THE SUPPORTING WISH EXPENSE DOCUMENTATION IS RETAINED BY THE ORGANIZATION. OF THE TOTAL 469 WISHES GRANTED DURING THE FISCAL YEAR, TRAVEL STIPENDS OF $581,341 WERE PROVIDED DIRECTLY TO APPROXIMATELY 352 WISH BENEFICIARIES. THE ADDITIONAL CASH GRANTS OF $2,855,077 WERE PAID DIRECTLY TO VENDORS BY THE CHAPTER FOR THE BENEFICIARIES' WISHES. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2012, THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF THE TEXAS GULF COAST AND LOUISIANA CHAPTER WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE $200,000 TO THE WISH FULFILLMENT FUND OF THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF AMERICA. THESE FUNDS ARE USED TO HELP GRANT WISHES IN CHAPTERS WITH LIMITED FUNDS. THE INTENDED USE OF THE FUNDS IS NOT DIRECTLY MONITORED AS THE RECIPIENT CHAPTERS ARE INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATIONS WITH THE SAME MISSION OF GRANTING WISHES TO CHILDREN WITH LIFE-THREATENING MEDICAL CONDITIONS. | Explanation |

| Explanation | The Chapter has a defined contribution retirement plan. Full-time employees are eligible for participation in the plan after reaching 21 years of age and upon completion of one year of service. Under provisions of the plan, eligible employees may elect to defer a percentage of their salary subject to certain IRC limitations. The Chapter matches 50% of employee contributions up to 6% of the employees salary. During the calendar year 2011, the Chapter gave $9,196 in matching funds to CEO & President Teresa Andrepont and $1,320 in matching funds to VP of Programs Cathy Anderson. The plan was amended in December 2011 to add an annual discretionary employer contribution for participants who have at least five years of service. The Chapter added $8,912 in discretionary contributions for Teresa Andrepont and $2,001 in discretionary contributions for Cathy Anderson. NON-FIXED PAYMENTS SCHEDULE J, PART I, QUESTION 7 The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors make recommendations for bonuses and salary increases based on the current economic climate and staff efforts. Based on those factors, the Board approved a bonus of $45,985 for President & CEO Teresa Andrepont during the calendar year 2011. VP of Programs Cathy Andersons bonus of $5,748 and Director of Finance Melissa Hendersons bonus of $3,375 were determined by Teresa Andrepont during the calendar year 2011 and were within the recommended range approved by the Executive Committee. | Explanation |
