Mission and programs · 2025

• Public Classes & Events- offers fair-cost, fee-based workshops and many free literary events and monthly writing labs, all led by professional writers scholars, and interdisciplinary artists. All of our classes & events create a space for serious artistic, intellectual, and community-spirited dialogue & are offered virtually as well as in-person. Accommodating job and family schedules and limited budgets, all classes are eligible for teachers continuing education credit, and Gemini Ink works to secure underwriting to provide full and partial scholarships to help ensure the diversity of our classes. We are rolling out a series of asynchronous online writing workshops called The Write Place to broaden the format of our classes and provide 24/7 access to self-paced writing opportunities.

  Expenses $168,271 · Grants $240 · Revenue $18,944

• Partner Classes- sends professional writers into diverse community settings to work alongside students of all ages, needs, interests and abilities for free. With an average ratio of 10:1, our writers-in-residence work closely with students to create dynamic writing projects that challenge them, often reflecting their own lives. These writing workshops build critical reading and writing skills in the process. Offered free to the populations we serve, partner classes are supported by grants or fee-for-service contracts with the partner site. Partner Classes serves an estimated 1300 students each year with 75% of those being people of color. Our series of Therapeutic Writing Workshops are growing steadily and bring the healing aspect of the writing arts to teens and women in recovery, justice-impacted populations, and others.

  Expenses $222,332 · Grants $80 · Revenue $62,996

• Special Events/Autograph Series- presents writers of national and international stature- many of the recipients of major prizes such as the Pulitzer or National Book Award- in free public performances followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. Ours is one of the few such series in the nation offered to the public at no cost. Autograph Series is partially supported by a ticketed luncheon with the visiting writer. Previous Autograph writers include Margaret Atwood, U.S. Peot Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera, New York Times bestselling author Ben Fountain, and National Book Award winner poet Terrance Hayes, among others. Other special events include impactful partnerships with community organizations, universities, and city agencies, such as the 2021 citywide Sterling Houston Festival, celebrating the San Antonio playwright.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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.
