• STOREFRONT PROGRAM -- THE SAGE STOREFRONT GRANT PROGRAM OFFERS QUALIFIED BUSINESSES MATCHING GRANTS OF UP TO 10,000 FOR BUSINESS PROPERTY OWNERS TO MAKE FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS SUCH AS DOOR AND WINDOW REPLACEMENT, PAINTING, SIGNAGE, LIGHTING, PARKING LOT REPAIRS, AND OTHER EXTERIOR RENOVATIONS. SINCE 2010, SAGE HAS AWARDED OVER 200 STOREFRONT GRANTS, RESULTING IN FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS OF OVER 1.6 MILLION IN EASTSIDE SAN ANTONIO.

• CULTURAL & HISTORICAL MARKERS - SAGE COMMISSIONS THE INSTALLATION OF HISTORICAL MARKERS THROUGHOUT THE EASTSIDE, COMMEMORATING SIGNIFICANT EVENTS, LOCATIONS, AND INDIVIDUALS, IN TURN HELPING RESIDENTS AND VISITORS CONNECT WITH THE AREA'S HISTORY.

• COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT - SAGE HOSTS COMMUNITY AND SPECIAL EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, INCLUDING: HALLOEAST - HALLOEAST IS A FREE FAMILY-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY BLOCK PARTY CELEBRATING HALLOWEEN. THIS EVENT IS MORE THAN JUST TRICK-OR-TREATING -- IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR RESIDENTS TO CONNECT WITH NEIGHBORS AND SHARE VALUABLE COMMUNITY RESOURCES. THIS EVENT ATTRACTED OVER 530 ATTENDEES AND MORE THAN 50 VENDORS FROM THE COMMUNITY. IN 2024 SAGE WAS AWARDED A 150,000 COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (CED) PLANNING GRANT FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AIMED AT BUILDING THE ADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITY NEEDED TO DEVELOP A PUBLIC MARKET COMPLEX ON SAN ANTONIO'S EASTSIDE. THIS PLANNING PROJECT MARKS A SIGNIFICANT STEP FORWARD IN SAGE'S COMMITMENT TO FOSTERING ECONOMIC VITALITY IN THIS MINORITY-MAJORITY AREA, WHICH HAS LONG GRAPPLED WITH SYSTEMIC POVERTY, HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, AND THE LINGERING EFFECTS OF HISTORICAL DISENFRANCHISEMENT THROUGH REDLINING, RACIAL SEGREGATION, AND GOVERNMENTAL DISINVESTMENT. THROUGH THE CED PLANNING FUNDS, SAGE WILL DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE, COMMUNITY-INFORMED BUSINESS PLAN TO ESTABLISH A PUBLIC MARKET COMPLEX THAT WILL SERVE AS AN ECONOMIC ANCHOR FOR THE EASTSIDE. THIS VIBRANT COMMUNITY SPACE IS ENVISIONED TO ADDRESS THE CRITICAL SHORTAGE OF GROCERY STORES, DINING, AND ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS IN THE AREA, AND CREATE A CENTRAL HUB WHERE RESIDENTS CAN SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES, ENJOY COMMUNITY EVENTS, AND ACCESS ESSENTIAL GOODS AND SERVICES. IN 2025, SAGE WAS AWARDED A CED IMPLEMENTATION GRANT FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES TOTALING 800,000 TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A REVOLVING LOAN PROGRAM INTENDED TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO SMALL BUSINESSES IN THE EASTSIDE COMMUNITY. THIS SAME YEAR SAGE WAS AWARDED A 2,000,000 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION RECONNECTING COMMUNITIES PROJECT (RCP) PLANNING GRANT TO ADDRESS LONGSTANDING BARRIERS CREATED BY HIGHWAYS ON SAN ANTONIO'S EASTSIDE. THE PROJECT FOCUSES ON DEVELOPING A VISION TO CAP, BURY, AND TRANSFORM SECTIONS OF IH-10, IH-35, AND IH-37 INTO GREEN, PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY SPACES. THIS EFFORT AIMS TO RECONNECT HISTORICALLY DIVIDED NEIGHBORHOODS, ENHANCE MOBILITY, AND SPUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. SAGE DIRECTLY ENGAGES MORE THAN 7,000 COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGH ITS WEBSITE, SEMI-MONTHLY NEWSLETTER, AND SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT.

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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
