IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom0Rolf Faste (1943-2003) was a Stanford University professor and dedicated design educator whose thoughts on creative thinking touched thousands of students and had a pioneering impact on design education. As director of Stanford's Joint Program in Design (http://design.stanford.edu/PD/), Professor Faste's work bridged the gap between two established academic departments and disciplines: Mechanical Engineering and Art. The Rolf A. Faste Foundation for Design Creativity was founded with two primary aims: (1) to improve the impact and state of the art of this joint discipline ("Design Creativity"), which Professor Faste's research and teaching helped to define and to influence; and (2) to benefit the public welfare through the advancement and application of that discipline in such areas as the improvement of industrial design and production processes and the creation and refinement of accessibility tools and consumer goods optimized for members of the public with varying needs and physical capabilities. Our first major project has involved beginning to enable community access to the Faste design archives, which include over 100 boxes of drawings and notes, a library of several thousand books on design, art, engineering, education, etc., and an impressive collection of resources for design education. The most relevant of Rolf's numerous writings have been digitized and made available to the public through postings on the foundation's website, and we are in the process of preparing a major print publication.
IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom1This year (2011) we have written and submitted some small grant applications, continued our work on Prof. Faste's book manuscript, and worked on designing and implementing the foundation's website to facilitate the dissemination of materials for design creativity.
IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom2During 2012, design volunteers working with the foundation made significant advances to the design of a software platform for design education. We also submitted some small proposals for grant funding, but none were funded.

ReasonableCauseExplanation/Explanation0We are a young, all volunteer 501(c)3 nonprofit, with no operating budget and zero income/expenditures for 2012. Due to a clerical error, we just noticed that our 990ez form for the 2012 tax year was not filed on time. Our directors are very busy with full-time jobs, and when we consulted our records in May we mistakenly believed that we had already filed the 990 form for the 2012 tax year. Unfortunately, the digital record of our 990ez form that we filed for the 2011 tax year had been mistakenly labeled "2012" on our desktop computer (i.e., the year it was submitted, not the year it applied to). Having just noticed this error, we are now submitting our 990ez form for the 2012 tax year. We understand that there may be a late filing penalty, and request an abatement of this penalty for this reason. This was a one time event due to being a very young and all-volunteer organization, and steps including implementing an automated reminder system have been taken to prevent a recurrence. The organization has taken actions to ensure that all future filings will be timely including retaining the services of an outside firm to prepare its future 990 forms. The organization is a 100% volunteer education charity, working to design freely available tools for online design education, and a late filing penalty would present a significant burden given our limited budget. The organization operated in good faith, and we believe the facts and circumstances outlined above support an abatement of the penalty especially given that steps have been taken to ensure that all future filings will be timely. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions or need additional information. We very much appreciate your assistance in this matter and consideration of this request. Sincerely, Haakon Faste Director
