About Sherman Family Foundation Trust
The Sherman Family Foundation Trust appears to be a small, family-run grantmaker focused on sustaining its own philanthropic activity rather than funding external programmatic causes. Its sole recorded grant was a transfer to create a donor-advised fund (Sherman Family Charitable Gift Fund), indicating priority on legacy planning and continuing family-directed giving. The foundation’s activity is administrative and succession-oriented rather than mission-driven toward a specific social issue.
