F Halo Foundation Inc
F Halo Foundation Inc was a private foundation based in Coral Gables, Florida. Its 2023 IRS filing is marked as the organization’s final return: the foundation said its directors unanimously agreed to terminate it and distribute its remaining assets to the Bank of America Charitable Gift Fund for allocation to the F-Halo Donor Advised Fund. The filing states that all remaining assets were distributed during 2023 and that the foundation was being dissolved. It therefore appears to have wound down and stopped grantmaking.
