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 “Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History”). How matching works and where it fails.
