Jacques Asseoff Charitable Trust
The Jacques Asseoff Charitable Trust (EIN: 13-6817770) is a grant making foundation which supports a number of Jewish and pro-Israel causes.
Although little information regarding the trust is available a Jacques Asseoff worked in the Bulgarian Supreme Economic Council and the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce in the 1940s. In the late 40s Asseoff was in contact with the forerunner of the CIA, the Office of Strategic Services.[1]
The trust was a major donor to the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces. Between 2002 - 2007 the foundation donated $397,439 to the FIDF.[2]
No form 990s have been filed by the organisation since 2008 and donations also ceased in that year. The foundation is presumably defunct.
