A little bit more detail: As per [1], the Allisons helped care for Dr. Stanton before his death in 2006. Frank Stanton was a member of the Harvard board and a long-time Harvard supporter. [1] [2] The Stanton Foundation was set up in Frank Stanton's name after his death and is a private foundation. We don't have reason to assume that there's anything untoward about the relationship between the Stanton Foundation and Graham Allison / the Belfer Center, and our assessment focuses solely on WMF's mistakes in taking on this project.
