Read this first · the figures below need context
99% of Fromstein Foundation Ltd’s FY2020 grant dollars went to American Endowment Foundation, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2020 names 7 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2019, the last year Fromstein Foundation Ltd named its own grantees at scale: 8 organizations, $24k. It is dated, not current.

How do I get to Fromstein Foundation Ltd?
Find your warmest path to Fromstein Foundation Ltd through trustees and officers whose names appear on both boards. Search for your organization and Plinth traces the shortest route it can evidence.
Each link is a name appearing on two organizations’ public IRS 990 filings, matched on that name and, where the filings support it, on location. A same-state match has geographic support, which is a second matching feature rather than confirmation that the two are one person; a cross-state one is the likeliest to be two people who share a name. Every hop shows its tier, low-confidence and distant paths are held back rather than guessed, and it is worth confirming the person before you use the introduction.
