Wee Walker Foundation
Wee Walker Foundation was a private foundation based in Naples, Florida. Its filings report grants to charitable organizations in 2021, but the foundation’s 2020 filing was marked as its final return and states that it ceased to exist on August 9, 2021, after distributing its remaining principal to Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund. The foundation therefore appears to have wound down and stopped grantmaking.
