Podhurst Dern Koffsky Weinberg Foundation
PODHURST DERN KOFFSKY WEINBERG is a private foundation based in Coral Gables, Florida. Its 2024 filing is marked as a final return: the trustees resolved to voluntarily terminate the foundation on December 31, 2024, and stated that it had no assets or liabilities. The foundation therefore appears to have wound down, and the application information reported on that filing should not be treated as current.
