ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0GTA is a volunteer-run organization, and I was unable to get our books finalized by the 15th as I had planned due to my work/family obligations. I was able to complete that and file our 990 in the month of May, which I hope is sufficient. Thank you for understanding! -Patricia Johnson, Founder/Board Member
