How do I get to Veterans of Foreign Wars of the US Dept of Mn - 906 - VFW - Minnesota?
Find your warmest path to Veterans of Foreign Wars of the US Dept of Mn - 906 - VFW - Minnesota 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.
