Mission

THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH THE ORGANIZATION IS FORMED IS TO ADVANCE THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH, AND TO RESPOND TO POPE JOHN II'S CALL FOR A "NEW EVANGELIZATION" TO BRING ABOUT A "CULTURE OF LIFE- AND "CIVILIZATION OF LOVE," THROUGH EFFECTIVE CATHOLIC YOUTH MINISTRY TO URBAN COMMUNITIES, BASED ON A MODEL OF RELATIONAL MINISTRY IN THE MIDST OF THE INNER CITY COMMUNITY, AND THROUGH OTHER PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES THAT PROMOTE THE DIGNITY AND EDUCATE YOUTH IN THE CHRISTIAN FAITH.

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.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

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.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 1 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
