Alexander and Anne Smith Family Foundation
The Alexander and Anne Smith Family Foundation is a private foundation based in Sarasota, Florida. Its 2024 filing lists grants to charitable organizations, including organizations in Sarasota and elsewhere. The foundation’s 2023 filing is marked as its final return and says it distributed more than 25% of its assets to a donor-advised fund to terminate under section 507(b)(1)(A); the foundation therefore appears to have wound down or stopped grantmaking.
