Mission

MERCY STREET EXISTS TO CULTIVATE MUTUALLY TRANSFORMING RELATIONSHIPS WITH INNER-CITY YOUTH THROUGH CHRISTIAN MENTORSHIP. THE ORGANIZATION EXECUTES ITS MISSION PRIMARILY THROUGH SPORTS, MENTORING, AND LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS.

  • Mercy Street Sports: Our sports leagues provide a positive outlet for youth in west and south Dallas during their critical out-of-school time, as well as offer the accessibility and benefits of sports to those who would not otherwise have access to organized sports. Our sports leagues foster character development, strategy, teamwork, resilience, grit, determination, a competitive spirit, and accountability. Mercy Street currently serves over 2,953 young athletes each year through soccer, baseball, flag-football, basketball, volleyball, golf exposure, cheerleading, lacrosse, pickleball, double-dutch and daily open gym after school.

    Expenses $1,810,602 · Revenue $190,626

  • Mercy Street Mentoring: Mercy Street provides long-term, one-on-one mentors to every child in our target schools who desires to have one. The cultivation of these mutually transforming relationships contributes to students in our mentoring program having higher graduation rates, higher grade level advancement rates, lower teen pregnancy rates, and lower teen incarceration rates than their peers each year through both one-on-one mentoring, after school group mentoring and in-school group mentoring we serve 200 youth annually.

    Expenses $645,272

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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.

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.
