Mission and programs · 2025

Primary exempt purpose

The primary exempt purpose of Germaine's Culinary Inc. is culinary training for people experiencing intellectual and developmental disabilities. The hands-on training that Germaine's Culinary Inc. provides prepares participants for community-based work in the food industry.

  • Nourish & Flourish Spring Internship was a hands-on culinary training program for people experiencing intellectual and developmental disabilities. Eleven individuals ages 18-21 trained for 12 weeks alongside a professional chef in the commercial kitchen of Portland's First Baptist Church. Participants gained experience in basic cooking skills, kitchen safety and sanitation. They gained confidence and explored work in the food industry.

    Expenses $12,385

  • On September 2, 2025, Germaine's Culinary Inc. launched Nourish & Flourish Kitchen Cohort One in Portland, Oregon.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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.

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.
