Dashew Family Foundation
The Dashew Family Foundation is a private foundation based in Los Angeles, California. Its 2022 filing reports grants to charitable organizations, including health and medical research organizations, education-related organizations, and other nonprofits. The foundation’s 2021 filing is marked as its final return and reports that all investments were sold, all proceeds were contributed to charities, no other assets remained to distribute, and a certificate of dissolution was attached; it therefore appears to have wound down or stopped grantmaking.
