This may be a dumb question but that never slowed me down before.......

Is there an EASY and FAST way to determine whether or not a sponsor is
foreign owned?  How far back up the hierarchy can I expect to find the
information that is, parent organizations, grandparent organizations....
Do I need an MBA to understand it all?  We are starting to indentify our
sponsors not only by federal, state, industry, foundations etc but also by
foreign or domestic.  If there is not an easy and/or fast way to determine
this, is there a difficult and slow way?  My expereince has been that
asking the sponsor's POC is often not the most accurate method.  Thanks much.
