American River Bank Foundation
American River Bank Foundation was based in Rancho Cordova, California, and its stated mission focused on supporting organizations that create opportunity and promote the well-being of vulnerable women and children. Its 2022 IRS filing is marked as its final return and says the foundation was dissolved and distributed its cash assets; the filing also reports no assets for 2022. The foundation therefore appears to have wound down and stopped grantmaking.
