Activities or mission (Part I)

Golden Bridges School is a teacher-run school, created by a group of Waldorf-trained teachers with experience both in early childhood and elementary education.

  • Golden Bridges and Dandelion Preschool seek to provide affordable, developmentally appropriate education, presented by Waldorf-trained teachers, to San Francisco's southern neighborhoods. We offer an education based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner that nourishes children's capacities physically, emotionally, and intellectually while cultivating skills of head, heart and hands. In building and sustaining bridges between the school, families and the local and globl communities, we are preparing children to be productive global citizens and stewards of the Earth. During this past school year, we had 28 preschoolers, 29 kindergartners, 12 first-grade students, 13 second-grade students, 12 third-grade students, 8 fourth-grade students, 12 fifth-grade students, 7 sixth-grade students, 12 seventh-grade students, and 5 eighth-grade students.

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.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

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.

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 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.
