Charles & Rita Anderson Foundation
The Charles & Rita Anderson Foundation was a private foundation based in Eastport, Michigan. Its 2025 filing is marked as its final return: the foundation reported that it executed a dissolution plan on October 9, 2025, distributed its remaining net assets, ceased operations, and no longer holds assets. It therefore appears to have wound down and stopped grantmaking.
