ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0Our organization respectfully requests relief from penalties related to the late filing of Form 990 for the year ending 2023. The delay was due to unforeseen difficulty in finalizing complete financial records, which prevented timely preparation of the return. We take our compliance responsibilities seriously and have since implemented improved internal procedures to ensure future filings are submitted on time. We ask that penalties be waived on the basis of reasonable cause and not willful neglect.
