Mission and programs · 2024

Primary exempt purpose

Black Girls Cook aims to empower and inspire inner-city adolescent Black girls through food security, culinary arts, urban farming, entrepreneurship, and STEM, emphasizing Black Diaspora cultural histories and food practices.

  • Black Girls Cook (BGC) has empowered adolescent Black girls in historically neglected communities experiencing disenfranchisement and food insecurity. Through dynamic, hands-on programming, BGC teaches culinary skills, edible gardening, and STEM-focused activities, using food as a vehicle to inspire creativity, self-sufficiency, and community engagement. BGC's commitment to holistic education has expanded to include intergenerational learning opportunities, such as intergenerational cooking classes, that foster cultural preservation and family connection. BGC's innovative programs include the Summer of Food, which integrates culinary arts, gardening, and STEM-focused "Kitchen Sink Beauty" activities. By engaging with fresh ingredients and exploring food systems, participants deepen their knowledge of nutrition, sustainability, and food science.

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 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.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

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.
