2 other organizations in the IRS Business Master File list 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

SGAP Leaders empowers teens to become agents of change in their communities and beyond by thinking critically, applying STEM, and championing social impact. Our students 1) brainstorm about projects that they would like to lead (all projects must align with SGAP Leaders' mission), 2) develop a "plan of action," 3) recruit team members, and with guidance, 4) execute their projects. The process of designing, developing and executing their project, exposes our students to real-world challenging experiences such as team dysfunction, poor planning and execution. These challenging experiences are springboards for our students' growth and leadership development. The more we develop our students' ability to think critically, problem solve creatively and lead empathetically, the more successful our students will become. We are committed to rolling out our climate action curriculum to our students and schools from 2024-2026 to better prepare the students for climate-related careers.

Activities or mission (Part I)

SGAP Leaders empowers teens to become agents of change in their communities and beyond by thinking critically, applying STEM, and championing social impact. Our in-person or virtual workshops, tours and speaker series provide a vehicle for students to develop college and career readiness skills. Our workshops challenge students from different schools, regions and countries to think critically around real issues that affect real lives; as a result they develop leadership and team building skills; and through the process, they gain a voice and feel empowered. Unfortunately, students graduating from high school today lack the critical skills to be successful and competitive within the global workplace. SGAP Leaders' programming provides a vehicle for motivated students to gain critical 21st century skills such as presentation, problem-solving, critical thinking, collaboration, communications, empathy-building and creativity.

  • Climate Clinics & Sustainability Exchange - We refined our ten-week Climate Change Curriculum to a six week in-person Climate Clinics with their Leadership Training Institute cohort, and six-week virtual Climate Clinics with the Kennedy High School Leadership Training Institute. The age range of the cohorts were from 13-18. The Clinics culminated with a modified Sustainability Exchange workshop focused on the mining for cobalt in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and food waste in the USA. The purpose of the Climate Clinics was to demonstrate SGAP's abilities to implement a longitudinal in-school program and to assess the clinics' effectiveness in engaging teens, and advancing their knowledge in climate-related issues, environmental activism.

    Expenses $26,960 · Grants $7,500 · Revenue -$7,500

  • Our Sustainability Fellows began to develop two in-person projects. Our FELLOWS lead their own project teams. All Fellows designed a project that focused on reducing Greenhouse Gases. Our fellows initiated and executed projects to develop their leadership skills. Fellows earned over 750 Community Service hours (SSL) hours by funding, planning, executing, managing and reporting their Greenware (recycling electronic waste), and Bike Day projects.

    Expenses $20,000 · Grants $2,000 · Revenue -$18,000

  • SGAP Leaders coached students from the Leadership Training Institute at Kennedy High School to present at the Montgomery County Public Schools' Climate Summit. Teens learned about civic engagement and the power of their voice. Lastly, SGAP Leaders' teens virtually participated in the Global Solutions Lab with our partner organization housed at Drexel University, and learned about the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.

    Expenses $5,000 · Grants $5,000

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.

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.
