Joy and David Grossmann Family

Grantmaker Boca Raton, FL EIN: 38-3843589

JOY AND DAVID GROSSMANN FAMILY was a private foundation based in Boca Raton, Florida. Its 2020 filing is marked as a final return: the board voted to liquidate and terminate the organization, and the filing says funds were used for existing approved expenses until cash assets reached zero.
