From the investigation
Where money goes, and what must not be double-counted
Oregon ¶48 expressly allocates USD 264,153.73 out of the same USD 45 million to the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG), as reimbursement for certain costs and expenses of the participating states' investigation. It directs wire payment using Oregon AG instructions. This is a specific institutional reimbursement entitlement in the signed settlement text. It is neither a separate additional fine nor evidence that NAAG controlled the legal findings, and no bank/recipient payment record was read.

An IRS-hosted original 2024 return separately identifies National Association of Attorneys General Mission Foundation Inc, EIN 30-0088843. PDF1 states a calendar 2024 period, 501(c)(3) status and education/research/training purpose benefiting NAAG members. Its return signature date is 14 November 2025, not an independently established public-release date. Schedule A, PDF16, identifies a Type I supporting organization, sole supported organization NAAG, EIN 52-1322260, with monetary support of $0 and other support of $5,192,939. These are the Foundation's reported support categories; other support is not a cash payment and neither figure is an association-wide budget. Schedule R, PDF44, also lists NAAG as a related exempt organization. The form's tax categories should not be repurposed as a complete operational-control map.
