A $750,000 charitable foundation, the Eva Heller Kohn Fund, has been established here to provide funds for Jewish services. The Fund was incorporated in accordance with the will of the late Mrs. Eva Heller Kohn, a member of a widely known San Francisco family.
A board of trustees will vote contributions from the income, of the fund “to such Jewish charities, charitable institutions and philanthropic purposes as the trustees shall deem worthy of assistance.”
