The filer's explanations (Part III)

Form 990, Part VII, Line 5:

The Foundation does not directly employ or compensate any individuals, employees, officers, or directors. However, the Foundation does receive management and staffing services from employees of an unrelated organization (per definition in the IRS instructions), Dunkin' Brands/Inspire Brands, including several individuals listed in Form 990, Part VII. Some of these individuals are compensated by Inspire Brands, Inc. for services rendered to the Foundation. Those services are measured at the cost recognized by Inspire Brands Group, Inc. for the personnel providing those services, which the Foundation then reimburses Inspire Brands Group for. In 2025, the Foundation paid Inspire Brands Group $926,708 for such services. As Inspire Brands Group is assisting the Foundation with certain managerial and operating service, this Form 990, Part VI, Line 3 has been answered "Yes." However, it is not possible for the Foundation to bifurcate or assign what amount of this total cost was due specifically for managerial, directorial, or official purposes. Accordingly, the Foundation has disclosed the entire amount on this Form 990, Schedule J and Schedule O, for transparency purposes.
