Sarah a Stewart Foundation
The Sarah a Stewart Foundation is a private foundation based in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Its filings report grants in 2021 and 2022, but the 2022 return is marked as the foundation’s final return, and the 2023 filing reports no grants and no assets; the foundation therefore appears to have wound down or stopped grantmaking.
