-
Building on past successes, we have been able to increase the overall amount of City-wide grants awarded and increase the level of individual grants awarded. This year, 17 grants were awarded from the 76 that appkied.
Expenses $113,954 · Grants $110,096
-
This year we were able to put additional effort into community outreach through the four wards of the City so that more opportunity was made available to grassroots community efforts to get funded through the IAT City-wide grants process. This outreach was significantly expanded through volunteer efforts and additional communications with the many community oriented groups already working within the City.
Expenses $1,716
-
During the year we have solidified the underlying operational processes and systems needed to more effectively support the grant rounds, outreach, acceptance, review and selection processes. This has enabled us to more effectively work with those that are reading the grants and providing them with the support systems they need to read and score the grants more efficiently. This also allows improved final review and selection processes as these can now be done in-person, completely remotely, or in a hybrid fashion.
Expenses $31,365
As filed on the 2025 return.

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.

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 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.
