All Stars Helping Kids Inc
All Stars Helping Kids Inc is a public charity based in Cupertino, California, that supported Bay Area organizations working to help youth thrive. Its 2023 filing is marked as a final return, and the organization announced in Spring 2024 that it planned to sunset after 35 years. It therefore appears to have wound down; the available information does not establish that it is currently making grants.
