About
ON DECEMBER 1, 2023, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE KEETER FOUNDATION MET IN PERSON TO DISCUSS THE POTENTIAL FOR A WINDING-DOWN OF THE GRANT-MAKING ACTIVITIES OF THE ORGANIZATION. AFTER CONSIDERABLE DISCUSSION, THE BOARD VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO UNDERTAKE AN IMMEDIATE PROCESS OF MAKING GRANTS TO ELIGIBLE CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS SUCH THAT THE ORGANIZATION'S ASSETS WOULD BE FULLY DISTRIBUTED WITHIN APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR OF THIS MEETING DATE. FURTHER, AT ITS MEETING ON DECEMBER 1, 2023, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE KEETER FOUNDATION APPROVED GRANTS FOR THE YEAR 2023 TO 8 QUALIFIED CHARITIES IN THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF 606,000. THESE GRANTS REPRESENTED APPROXIMATELY 85% OF THE ORGANIZATION'S TOTAL ASSETS AND WERE, THEREFORE, A SUBSTANTIAL CONTRACTION BY DEFINITION. THE BOARD AGREED TO DEFER ADDITIONAL GRANT-MAKING DECISIONS TO THE YEAR 2024 AT WHICH TIME LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION ACTIVITIES OF THE ORGANIZATION WERE EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED AS WELL. THE GRANTS PAID IN 2023 ARE DISCLOSED AS TO GRANTEE, PURPOSE, AND AMOUNT IN THE ORGANIZATION'S 2023 FORM 990-PF, PART XIV, AS REQUIRED.
