Where this comes from
Each row is a grant line from Part XV of a private foundation's Form 990-PF. The 990-PF has no field for the recipient's tax ID, so WHOFUNDS matched the payee's name and address to the IRS Business Master File (where this EIN is registered as “N a a C P Legal Defense and Educational Fund”). How matching works and where it fails.
