Warm introductions · Powered by PlinthPlus
How do I get to Jack K Ayre & Frank Ayre Lee Theatre Foundation?
Find your warmest path to Jack K Ayre & Frank Ayre Lee Theatre Foundation 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.
