Master List/Kroc donations This list was compiled from news reports, IRS Form 990s, personal interviews and annual reports for both The Kroc Foundation and the recipient of its assets, the Joan B. Kroc Foundation. Both are long defunct. Joan’s known final monetary gifts are listed at the end of this twenty-page document. Please note: none of Joan’s vast non-monetary gifts are listed here, nor are her personal gifts to individuals; compiling such a list would be next to impossible, given the magnitude of her giving. This is believed to be the first time a comprehensive list of the Kroc gifts has been compiled. (An abridged version of this list appears in the appendix section of the book Ray and Joan.) If you are aware of a gift that isn’t listed here, please contact me and I am happy to review it for inclusion. –lisa napoli 8/9/16 9:27 AM
