Raiders Foundation
Raiders Foundation is a public charity based in Henderson, Nevada, whose filing describes support for military service members, youth development, and health and wellness initiatives. Its 2023 filing is marked as a final return and says the foundation dissolved before the end of that year, so it appears to have wound down and stopped grantmaking under this filing entity.
