to employee benefit plans,” and “Expense accounts and other
allowances.” Not included are any benefits received but not reported
in the charity’s IRS Form 990.
When information is given only on the national headquarters
and the charity does not include its affiliates in its financial
statements, “National Office” or “N.O.” appears
after the group’s name.
