CTIA - THE WIRELESS ASSOCIATION, founded in 1984, is a mid-sized nonprofit that reported $99.0M in total revenue in fiscal year 2023. Expenses of $94.7M left a modest 4% surplus.

Mission

THE ASSOCIATION PAID FOR FIRST-CLASS TRAVEL FOR THE PRESIDENT/CEO AND SENIOR EXECUTIVES. THE FIRST-CLASS TRAVEL WAS FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES, AND ACCORDINGLY, THE COST OF THE FIRST-CLASS TRAVEL WAS NOT TREATED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION. ALL CTIA EMPLOYEES RECEIVE STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COVERAGE. ADDITIONALLY, ALL SENIOR EXECUTIVES RECEIVE ADDITIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COVERAGE IN EXCESS OF THE STANDARD AMOUNT. THIS ADDITIONAL LIFE INSURANCE IS CONSIDERED TAXABLE INCOME TO THE EMPLOYEE. IN ORDER TO OFFSET THE TAX IMPACT ON THIS ADDITIONAL BENEFIT, CTIA USES THE "GROSS UP" METHOD TO COVER THE TAXES FOR THE EMPLOYEES. ANNUALLY, THE ASSOCIATION PROVIDES THE PRESIDENT/CEO AN EXECUTIVE PERQUISITE. THESE PERQUISITES INCLUDE AN ALLOWANCE WHICH CAN BE USED FOR PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIP, INVESTMENT, TAX AND ACCOUNTING SERVICES. THE ASSOCIATION INCLUDES THESE PERQUISITES IN THE EMPLOYEE'S TAXABLE WAGES (W-2).
