Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Client Note 1

Client Note 1 - Friends of The Lab SchoolFiscal Year Ended 08/31/2016Re Late-Filing Penalty AbatementThis Form 990 is being filed a few weeks late. The Organization believes it has reasonable cause for filing late and is hereby requesting that the IRS abate any late-filing penalties.The Organization elects a new Treasurer every fiscal year. It is the new Treasurer's responsibility to get the Organization's Form 990 filed. For the past three year the Treasurer has prepared and filed the Organization's 990. This year, the CPA that had prepared the Form 990 in the past assumed that the Treasurer was going to prepare and file the form again this year. Accordingly, no extension was requested on 01/15/2017. Had the CPA firm known that they were going to file the return, an extension would have been requested. Upon realizing the return had not been filed in a timely manner, the Treasurer took immediate action to get the return filed. The Organization believes they acted responsibly, quickly, and in good faith to address this problem once discovered. They also demonstrated they did not willfully neglect their filing requirement.

IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0Friends of the Lab School is run by parent volunteer officials. The Director of the Lab School is the liaison between the school and the Friends of the Lab School as well as an ex officio member. The officers of Friends of the Lab School work hand-in-hand with the Director of the Lab School, maintaining a close and continuous working relationship to accomplish the goals of the organization. They meet and communicate on a regular basis to discuss needs and resources and how to best serve the organization. This communication includes regular updates on financial information, annual reporting, as well as the timing of grants. As a result of such relationship, the school has a significant voice in directing the use of the income of Friends of the Lab School.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt1As a result of the close working relationship, ongoing communication and significant voice between the Lab School and the Friends of the Lab School, the organization is responsive to the Lab School and its needs. All of the activities - social, fund-raising, and otherwise - of the Friends of the Lab School directly further the exempt purposes of the school to which it is responsive. Additionally, but for these actions by Friends of the Lab School, the school would normally run these activities itself.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt2But for the Friends of the Lab School involvement in these activities, The Lab School would have organized and operated these activities itself in the normal ongoing operations of the preschool.
