“The board of directors is guided in terms of determining appropriate, fair and reasonable compensation by written compensation guidelines. These guidelines were adopted by the board of directors to establish a procedure whereby compensation is assessed in terms of relevant market-based conditions. The compensation guidelines are based on procedures set forth in the treasury regulation interpreting internal revenue code section 4958. Pursuant to the compensation guidelines, the board of directors reviews appropriate comparability surveys that present the compensation data of other tax-exempt organizations with similar missions and revenues, to assess what is ordinary and reasonable in terms of the relevant market for compensation. The data included in the comparability surveys comes from numerous sources, such as association surveys and consultant research studies. The data is focused on comparable tax-exempt organizations located within the greater washington, dc metropolitan area.”

“Crs-21st provides audited financial statements and forms 990 upon request. Crs-21st also makes available upon request copies of its articles of incorporation and bylaws. The same applies for the conflict of interest policy and compensation guidelines.”
