“The board has the responsibility for reviewing the organiation's form 990 (including all pertinent schedules) before it is filed with the internal revenue service. A draft of the form 990 is ready for review by the board no later than a week prior to the filing deadline. After the draft of the form 990 has been obtained by the board, they will have no more than a week to complete their review. In conducting their review of the draft of the form 990, the board conducts a top-level or big-picture type of review. However, if the board deems it necessary to conduct a more detailed review of the form 990, then they contact the preparer of the form 990 to requeset copies of the relevant detailed tax return workpapers which they would like to see. The preparer of the form 990 makes any revisions to the form 990 as soon as feasibly possible to ensure that the form 990 is filed with the internal revenue service on a timely basis. All questions, comments, and suggested revisions set forth by the board are documended, along with any responses from the preparer of the form 990, if applicable.”

“Agua y mas has had a very productive, yet difficult year. Our children are back in school following more than a year using zoom when our internet connections work. We are so grateful for each of our generous donors, who increased our donations by about 100,000 even during this pandemic. As a result agua y mas was able to purchase eight small lots (almost an acre) in the town of ortiz, not too far from guymas. As our donations keep increasing, we hope to build two dormitory buildings, with a lot more space, one for boys and one for girls. Then our current home will have more room for the battered women and their children. Although our government keeps sending us those in great need, they do not give us any financial support or help with food or supplies. We are totally dependent on donations, as we have no sponsors, just generous donors who love children and want to give them a better life,. We provide food, clothing, an education, and a lot of love.”
