“During a routine review of organizational records, the new executive director became aware that approximately 78 years ago, the organization's employer identification number (ein) had been provided to several start-up entities for the purpose of applying for grants and opening bank accounts. These entities were not under the control of the organization and did not have formal relationships with it. Upon discovery, the organization immediately engaged nonprofit legal counsel to assess the situation and take corrective action. All entities were contacted and instructed to cease use of the ein immediately. Legal counsel confirmed that all but one of the entities had not used the ein in the past five years. The remaining entity ceased use during the tax year covered by this return. No financial activity from these entities was reported on the organization's books or this form 990. The organization has implemented internal controls to prevent future unauthorized use of its ein.”
