A Kathleen Gran & Alice J Talcott Charitable Trust
A KATHLEEN GRAN & ALICE J TALCOTT is a private foundation based in Baltimore, Maryland. Its 2023 IRS filing is marked as its final return: the trustees said the trust had run its course and was to be liquidated, with all assets distributed to qualified charitable organizations by the end of 2023 or shortly afterward. The filing describes 2023 as the trust’s final year of activity, so the foundation appears to have wound down and stopped grantmaking.
