Form 990-PF, Part IX-A, Line 1:Additional information regarding the Foundation's activities:The Foundation ("MBRF") has created a consortium of medical schools that work to assist MBRF to carry out its mission to alleviate age related memory loss. The schools are the medical schools at the University of Miami, University of Florida, University of Alabama at Birmingham and the University of Arizona ("MBRF Schools"). The Trustees monitor programs at the MBRF Schools and encourage and facilitate cooperation of research programs conducted at the Schools.The Trustees also monitor grants made to the National Institute of Health and other organizations devoted to understanding and alleviating age related memory loss. See list of Grants in Part XV.All Trustees, excluding the corporate Trustee, Truist Bank, are either MDs or PhDs. The Trustee's educational background is required to carry out Trustee duties. The Trustees are expected to understand the science being researched and applied at the MBRF Schools as well as other grantees. The Trustees estimate they spend on average a minimum of 200 hours per year monitoring and working on behalf of MBRF programs.The nature of Trustee work continues to emphasize the research grant support relative to the programs funded to date in fulfilling the mission of the MBRF. The scientific research being funded by the MBRF is producing more research outcomes, which the Trustees must review and monitor. The review of currently funded research projects, requests for new grant support, on site visits by the trustees and review of scientific reports for each of the MBRF funded programs are very important functions of the Trustees and require continual monitoring. In order to fulfill the purpose and the mission of the MBRF, the Trustees must continuously educate themselves as to the current status and future direction of the research initiatives in learning and memory loss in the aging. The Trustees continue to expand and develop research partnerships to encourage increased interest and support of research in learning and memory in the aging.In addition to the mission related work, the Trustees monitor and direct the investment of the MBRF endowment. This requires constant updates on economic matters and working with the MBRF investment advisor. The Trustees review monthly financial reports and set policy and asset allocation annually.
Form 990-PF, Part I, Line 13 and Part VII - Officers' CompensationDuring the year ended June 30, 2025, the Foundation made payments totaling $132,500 to Integer Consulting for trustee services rendered by Dr. Madhav Thambisetty, one of the Foundation's trustees. Pursuant to the instructions to the 2024 Form 990-PF, the amounts paid to Integer Consulting are listed as compensation paid to Dr. Thambisetty in Part VII. In addition, the amount paid to Dr. Thambisetty is reported as compensation on Part I, Line 13. In addition, $120,000 of the amount paid related to compensation for past services rendered by Dr. Thambisetty. This amount represents trustee fees for three previous years of service.
