Its best-paid, vice president/CFO Robert E Leverock Jr, was paid $201,000. The largest payments it lists that year:

ACCsupport student athletics$1.9 million
Big Tensupport student athletics$718,000

From the organization’s IRS Form 990, via ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer and the IRS’s e-file data. Payments are the grants it lists on Schedule I of that return. See every filing at ProPublica (EIN 59-0541694).
