Koeltl Family Foundation
Koeltl Family Foundation is a private foundation based in San Jose, California. Its 2024 filing is marked as a final return: the sole director determined that the corporation should be wound up and dissolved, and the filing states that remaining assets were distributed to Manhattan College and Fordham Preparatory School by the end of 2024. The foundation therefore appears to have wound down; its filing says it made contributions only to preselected charitable organizations.
