DJ and T Foundation
DJ and T Foundation is a private foundation based in San Marino, California. Its 2024 filing reports grants to organizations working in animal welfare; a 2023 filing is marked as the organization’s final return and says it had distributed all assets for charitable purposes and had no assets remaining. The foundation therefore appears to have wound down, and its past application instructions should not be treated as current.
