Gemini Industries Inc Foundation
Gemini Industries Inc Foundation was a private foundation based in El Reno, Oklahoma. Its 2023 filing is marked as its final return: the foundation stated that it voluntarily terminated its private foundation status effective December 31, 2023, and distributed all its assets in cash to qualifying organizations by that date. It therefore appears to have wound down and stopped grantmaking.
