Page 6 of the return provides the list of officers, directors, trustees, and foundation managers. This page is the key to finding out who is running the foundation, and making decisions about grant proposals. If the 'officers' section gives addresses other than the foundation address, this could be important to grantseekers wishing to gather biographical information on an individual. Sometimes, an individual's home address or work address can be identified here.
Section 2 provides information on the compensation of the foundation's highest paid employees. This information is often useful to grantmakers who need to determine how their foundation compares to similarly-sized foundations.
Section 3 provides information on the type of service and compensation of independent contractors. To make comparative analyses, financial services firms that assist grantmakers are often interested in fees paid to outside contractors.
