1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Center's mission is to create a haven where children are motivated, inspired, and equipped to realize their God-given potential.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Our goal is to build children's lives, their minds, their hearts and their spirits.

  • The Academic Enrichment Program (AEP) after-school programs operated for over 13 years, serving children from neighboring schools through homework assistance, reading and math remediation, academic and cultural enrichment, and social services, including mental health care and free medical and dental assistance. In addition, a special reading tutorial program is provided for academically challenged students, meeting twice weekly with extended hours. AEP Summer is an extension of the AEP that operates in June. Children required to attend summer school are transported to the Center after classes for cultural activities, swimming and water safety, and team sports.

    Expenses $422,484 · Grants $10,945 · Revenue $114,997

  • The Pre-Kindergarten Program provides an academically and emotionally enriching environment for children ages 3-5, with instruction for basic school readiness. The program follows a daily schedule that includes storytime, group time, snack break, center time, outside play, nap time, and enrichment activities such as yoga and music. The ten-month program begins in August and operates five days a week from 8 am to 3 pm. Extended care is offered until 6 pm each afternoon. The Mommy & Me Program reaches out to toddlers and their mothers. Children participate in activities stimulating vital developmental areas: physical, cognitive, social-emotional, communication, and self-help skills. In addition, caregivers learn activities that they can continue outside these sessions. This program is free of charge.

    Expenses $383,793

  • The College Prep Program prepares middle and high school students for higher education and assists parents in navigating the educational system. Students receive weekly tutoring in algebra, English, grammar, writing, and reading. College-bound students are exposed to college life through campus visits and tours and are prepared for academic entrance exams through weekly PSAT, SAT, and ACT prep classes. Career assessment tools provide students and parents with vital information to make well-informed decisions.

    Expenses $274,814 · Grants $68,066 · Revenue $8,059

  • Family Services - The Center offers Family Services for adults in three distinct areas: Parental Involvement Program, Effective Parenting Program, and Mental Health Education & Referral Services. The Center also offers adult education services, including English as a second language, computer literacy, financial literacy, entrepreneurial workshops, and microfinance for women in business. Nehemiah Ministries identifies and mentors ministry partners to share the Nehemiah Center Model, which offers a range of programs and services for children, youth, and adults. Womanade is a fund that helps families facing financial difficulties. The fund assists families in need with utility, medical, grocery, and other bills. Our Christmas Angel also flows through this program.

    Expenses $199,169 · Grants $15,959

  • "Discovery Middle School at Nehemiah Center partnered with Southwest Charter Schools to operate Discovery Middle School Nehemiah (DMSN). DMSN offers a personal, intimate education to children living in poverty. DMSN focuses on preparing middle school students to thrive in a college-preparatory high school. It also helps low-income adolescents of color understand why mental and physically healthy lifestyle decisions are important and gives students daily practice in making them. In addition, parents are an important element in this process and must commit to lifestyle adjustments to better support academic achievement. Family education mirrors and supports the curriculum. The school prepares at-risk students for peak performance in high school by a hyper-focus on physical and social-emotional wellness, strengthening math and language skills, and expanding their experiential worlds using Houston as a classroom."

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.

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.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

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.
