The organization successfully obtained recognition of tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) from the IRS on June 30, 2025. In preparation for active program delivery, the organization established internal policies, governance structures, and began fundraising efforts to support its mission. A total of $922 in public contributions was raised to support the foundation's initial outreach and development activities. Additionally, the organization developed scholarship guidelines, community support procedures, and plans for upcoming events and assistance programs to launch in the following fiscal year. While no formal program services were disbursed during this initial period, all organizational activity during the year was foundational to launching full-scale charitable operations in fiscal year 2025-2026. 0 900 900 Samuel David Layne Ferrell President/Executive Director 40 0 0 0 Ashlie Marie Ferrell Vice President/Assistant Executive Director 40 0 0 0 Kaila Koplin Executive Secretary/Director 36 0 0 0 Cera Coleman Director 30 0 0 0 Emberly Wadsworth Director 30 0 0 0 Abbey Bolter Former Director 5 0 0 0 Benjie Wells Former Director 1 0 0 0 X 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ID Samuel D Ferrell 353 E Lander St Ste 205 Pocatello ID 83201 2082319839 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 0 0 0 0 922 922 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 922 922 922 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 922 0 X Schedule A, Part I, Line 7 The organization was formed in 2024 and received IRS recognition as a 501(c)(3) public charity effective June 30, 2025.

The organization did not make any grants or similar payments (Line 10), nor were any benefits paid to or for members (Line 11). No salaries or compensation were paid to staff or officers, and no payments were made to independent contractors during this reporting period (Lines 12 and 13). Reported expenses include $1,260 in occupancy-related costs (Line 14), which reflect rent and utilities for the organization's administrative office space. $250 was spent on printing and mailing costs (Line 15), including promotional materials and registration filings. An additional $1,251 in other expenses (Line 16) included startup supplies, bank fees, website domain and hosting, state filing fees, and miscellaneous administrative costs associated with establishing operational readiness. No other changes in net assets or fund balances were recorded outside of normal revenue and expenses; therefore, Line 20 is reported as $0. The organization's total deficit for the year was $1,839, resulting in an ending net asset balance of $(339) as of June 30, 2025. Form 990-EZ, Part V, Line 33 In April 2025, the organization underwent a formal rebranding from The Tobin Bolter Memorial Project and Scholarship Program Corp to Rise and Respond Foundation Inc. This rebranding included a broadened mission to support a wider range of first responders, their families, and related charitable initiatives, while preserving the spirit of the original intent. During the rebranding process, the organization applied for and was granted a new Employer Identification Number (EIN): 33-4694858, which it currently operates under. Prior to this, the organization was briefly assigned EIN 33-3835888, under which it operated from March 7, 2025 to approximately April 18, 2025. No charitable activities or exempt-function operations were undertaken during the period under the name The Tobin Bolter Memorial Project and Scholarship Program Corp and EIN 33-3835888. A proper and formal notification to the IRS regarding the closure and inactivity of that prior entity will be submitted separately. All updates regarding the name change and mission expansion have been filed with the Idaho Secretary of State, and the organization continues to operate exclusively under EIN 33-4694858 as Rise and Respond Foundation Inc.

This amendment was filed and approved by the Idaho Secretary of State. A conformed copy of the amended document reflecting the name change is attached to this return. No other changes were made to the governing documents at that time.
