Rolley Foundation
Rolley Foundation is a private foundation based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Its 2022 filing is marked as the organization’s final return and says its assets were liquidated and transferred to donor-advised funds at two community foundations; the foundation therefore appears to have wound down or stopped grantmaking.
