Taiwan Friendship Association
Taiwan Friendship Association was a private foundation based in Vancouver, Washington. Its 2020 IRS filing identifies it as a final return and states that the organization terminated on December 31, 2020, after donating its remaining assets to other charities in the area. It therefore appears to have wound down and stopped grantmaking.
