67% of Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park’s FY2019 grant dollars went to Gilroy Foundation, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2019 names 1 organization directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it.

2 grantees tracked through their own filings, 2017–2025.
Each grant beside the grantee’s revenue from every source, year by year.
How this is measured
Counted here: distinct organizations funded across 2017 to 2025, not grant rows in a single year, so this will not match the grant count on the cover.
Each grantee is resolved to its own IRS returns. Association, dated; never a causal claim.
Each grantee by its size and the funder’s share of it; top left is load-bearing
Grantee by grantee: a decade per organization, before and after funding
A decade per grantee: revenue shaded, grants as bars, all rows on one timeline.
How much its grantees rely on government
Each dot is one organization Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park funds: left to right is the share of its income from government, bottom to top the share from Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park. Bigger dots raise more.

How do I get to Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park?
Find your warmest path to Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park 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.
