Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15B

“When hope gardens reviews its employees, we consider input from a variety of sources: the employee being reviewed, people they work with on a regular basis, board members, and others who are familiar with their work at hope gardens. It includes review and approval by those unrelated to the individual receiving compensation. It also includes comparing to market data.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 19
