Read this first · the figures below need context
92% of Gray Family Foundation Inc’s FY2022 grant dollars went to Johnson Charitable Gift Fund, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2022 names 1 organization directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2020, the last year Gray Family Foundation Inc named its own grantees at scale: 5 organizations, $68k. It is dated, not current.

How do I get to Gray Family Foundation Inc?
Find your warmest path to Gray Family Foundation Inc 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.
