Apples for StudentsSt. Mark Youth Enrichment Apples for Students provides school supplies to students in need in Dubuque, Western Dubuque, and surrounding areas. School supplies were provided to 3,600 students who are eligible for free and reduced lunch.Apples for Students is organized and facilitated by St. Mark in collaboration with the schools, area businesses, and community volunteers. Every year in May/June, the process begins to identify students in need and every year we identify increasing numbers of students. (Statement continued on Schedule O)Students in need are referred to us by their schools or a human service agency. We then solicit the community by approaching individuals, churches, and area businesses to donate money to purchase the supplies. St. Mark buys supplies in bulk because it is cost effective to do this during the months of July and August. In August, St. Mark rallies 100 volunteers that organize and sort the supplies, package the required materials by grade and needs of the school, deliver the supplies, and clean up. Approximately 400 hours of volunteer work takes place. Individual bags of school supplies are then delivered to the school buildings where they are distributed to students upon starting school.The program reduces the expense and anxiety on families who cannot afford the needed school supplies so that their children can go to school prepared and empowered to learn. This project cultivates support from a community that values education and ensures equitable access to the tools needed to be successful, so students are able to focus on learning in comfort.

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.

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.
