We equipped them with a new computer, phone, school supplies, dorm supplies if needed, clothing, spending money so they did not have to rely on their sponsor families for everything, internal plane flights, dental care, mental health counseling as needed, etc. We were entirely volunteer in 2025, so our administrative expenses were minimal. 2 44963 0 0 Afghanistan - Our Afghan efforts include food support for over 20 families, many of them the families of our students in the US (Hard to study when your family is starving). We also provide modest financial support for certain scout families to cover medical costs, private school tuition so as to keep their sons out of madrassas, wood and coal for heating in the winter and other miscellaneous but necessary costs. We also provide a small amount of financial support to those who help us move and shelter young women as they transit through Afghanistan to our Pakistan operations. 3 92157 0 0 Pakistan - Our mission to support Scout refugees started in Pakistan in late 2022. For 2025 we were supporting up to 50 people, families and principal applicants with P1, P2 or SIV referrals and Afghan students. We rented four large homes, paid numerous Pakistan visa fees to keep everyone legal and paid for all living costs including food, utilities, clothing, etc This operation also included housing and supporting over a dozen of our students from Pakistan while they studied and prepared for their US embassy F1 student visa interview. We also provided the exit fee for each student, as well as plane ticket to the US. 0 0 0 629958 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 0 0 0 0 false 0 false 0 0 false false false false false X 3 3 false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false false false NM X Stephen Gates RANCH DE TAOS RANCH 5757793368 RANCH DE TAOS RANCH RANCH DE TAOS RANCH NM 87557 Stephen Gates President 30.00 30.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 570543 570543 0 0 0 570543 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 78428 78428 4850 4850 17050 17050 105482 105482 Afghan Students Tuition and Education supplies - USA 322629 322629 Afghan Scout families Support inUSA 30282 30282 Afghan Families and Students suppport in Pakistan 83027 83027 641748 558470 78428 4850 46698 6537 3709 13351 0 50407 74803 100814 94691 24270 74803 0 26137 0 50407 74803 50407 19888 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 50407 19888 50407 19888 100814 94691 -71205 20797 X true X false false false false X 0 173596 549736 570540 1293872 0 0 173596 549736 570540 1293872 0 0 0 1293872 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 173596 549736 570540 1293872 X 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Part VI, Line 11b President and board members were sent a copy and reviewed. Part VI, Line 19 It has available for review in our corporate headquarters and by request. Our effort in 2025 centered on the literal extraction/rescue of 18 more young high school and college women from Taliban controlled Afghanistan. To do that we created an Underground Railroad of sorts, with men pretending to be there 'mahram', taking great risks getting through checkpoints and moving these young women between safe houses before we got them legally over the border. We had, and still must, protect these people and these young women and were told we must not change our website at all once built (and we haven't in over four years). Also, to try to hold off on submitting our 990 so as to make the Taliban, who have a whole Intelligence Directorate monitoring ALL international groups involved with Afghans, think absolutely nothing is happening and that we are in essence not operating. Hence, the delay. But, we can only delay so long or be so horribly out of compliance we'd lose our charity status, so we're having to take this chance by filing. We've managed to get 36 students here, 33 of them young women, many of them harrowing experiences for the girls, but thanks to the Taliban not knowing we're doing it, we've made it happen. We've also gotten over 20 out to other countries. Given the travel ban on travel to the US for Afghans, we're no longer in need of hiding our efforts to pursue education for Afghan Scouts and other deserving young women
