Mission and programs · 2024

Primary exempt purpose

To use our platform to put more people in cyber and IT jobs by creating opportunities for employers to interact with job seekers who are upskilled and ready for work.

  • Washington University in St Louis Roundtable on Cybersecurity-The GCC plans and facilities eight Cybersecurity Roundtables a year for Washington University. Corporations invest in their Chief Information Security Officers and other Cyber leaders by providing them membership to the Cybersecurity Roundtable. Individuals who want to accelerate their career progression in Cybersecurity also join the Roundtable promoting career trajectory.

    Expenses $49,394

  • SPARKS-In 2024 we hosted a Spring and Fall SPARKS program. Each semester four high school students experienced what it is like to apply for a job and the teamwork it takes to stay successful once you are hired. These students had the opportunity to visit business locations and meet with cyber teams. An even more critical part of the program provides them the opportunity to demonstrate their decision making and problem solving skills through practical exercises. This program helps inform students decisions about cybersecurity and lets them build the relationships that will help shape their future after high school.

    Expenses $22,071

  • Secure Pathway Workshops-The Secure Pathways series of workshops with high school students has proven to generate career awareness and interest in careers in cybersecurity. High School students can spend an informative and fun day with Cybersecurity Leaders and Mentors learning and having fun while they learn. In 2024 over 405 high school students from around the St. Louis metropolitan area spent the day at the GCCs Secure Pathway Workshops in conjunction with several local universities.

    Expenses $12,349

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
