Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
We provided a safe judgment free office and group clubhouse space for individuals seeking recovery from substance misuse and or mental health troubles. We have also provided hundreds of boxes of free Narcan in a rural location where stigma is high and so are overdose rates. More than 30 individuals were serviced on a monthly basis in terms of gaining individual support and attending regular recovery support groups. More than 300 people were trained to provide Narcan and given overdose prevention education.$24,000$24,000

ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0To Whom it May Concern On behalf of Bright Spirits Wellness and Recovery Co I am writing to respectfully request waiver of any penalties associated with the late filing of our Form 990-EZ for the tax year ending 12 2024. This is our first-year filing Form 990-EZ and the late filing was due to an unintentional misunderstanding of the filing requirements. Once we became aware of the missed deadline we took immediate steps to complete and submit the return. We value our compliance with IRS requirements and have implemented procedures to ensure timely filing in the future including working with a tax professional website. We respectfully request that any late filing penalties be waived as our organization acted in good faith this was an isolated oversight and no harm to the government occurred as a result. I would like to add that we attempted to file this on multiple occasions and were rejected stating that we did not have non-profit status even though we had a letter stating otherwise. When we reached someone at the IRS asking for assistance they told us that it could take months to update in the system and this delayed our filing further. We thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely Nicole McDearis Founder Director Bright Spirits Wellness and Recovery Co
