  • Afterschool Programming at The Gate is a recreational and social component of The Gate in collaboration with Central High School After-school Program. From 3:15-6, 100-130 students gather at The Gate Community Youth Center and enjoy snacks, video games and sports. Community Volunteers and Work Study Staff from the local college interact with and mentor the students as they socialize, seek advice and play indoor and outdoor games. Tutoring and computer use are available as well as cooking, crafting and leadership classes. This free program is funded through a work study grant and The Gate Youth Association.

    Expenses $253,562 · Grants $2,100 · Revenue $62,261

  • Student mentoring at The Gate has 2 components. Groups mentoring takes place in fall, winter and spring sessions. 10 students and 2 Gate staff work through curriculum including life skills, communication skills and social skills. These 3 sessions build on each other as the year progresses. 1v1 mentoring is where a Gate staff member or community member meets with a student for 1 hour per week. Topics in these mentoring sessions include homelife, sports, friendships, school (grades and attendance) and other subjects. These free programs are funded by grants and The Gate Youth Association.

    Expenses $80,264 · Revenue $300

  • Tuesday Lunch is a lunch prepared by community and parent volunteers for up to 170 students every Tuesday. During the 30 minute lunch period, participants walk across the street from the High School to a "teen comfort food" lunch and experience a short inspirational talk in an inviting and affirming environment where they are known, encouraged and experience the love of Christ. The lunch moms serve as mentors to many of the students who come from diverse backgrounds and life experiences such as teen moms, athletes, honor students etc. Tuesday Lunch is funded through customer receipts and donations.

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.

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.

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 13 October 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.
