The Clarence W Hottel Sr Christian Ministry Trust
The Clarence W Hottel Sr Christian Ministry Trust was a private foundation based in Baltimore, Maryland. Its 2023 filing is marked as its final return: the trust reported that it dissolved during 2023 by selling its assets, including real estate, and distributing the proceeds to public charities.
