The Bruce and Susan Konheim Family
The Bruce and Susan Konheim Family was a private foundation based in Los Angeles, California. Its 2025 filing is marked as its final return: the foundation stated that it terminated its private foundation status, distributed all remaining assets for charitable purposes, satisfied all liabilities, and ceased operations on December 18, 2025.
