Private foundation · Grantmaker Coral Gables, FL EIN: 46-4352428

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.
