ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0Request for Abatement of Penalties My name is Yan Digilov, and I have been the Executive Director of The Firestarter Group for the last 10 years. COVID19 forced us to make major managerial changes over the last three years. We have slowly phased out all paid staff, and the organization now runs entirely on a volunteer staff. While this transition was made without any interruption of our critical community services, some of our internal administrative processes took time to adjust. Regrettably, these changes led us to miss our 990 filing deadline last year. Typically, we file online and request an extension to complete forms later in the year. This year, our calendar triggers and email reminders that helped ensure timely filings in previous years were buried in a backlog of tasks. When I learned that this happened, I devised new protocol for ensuring filings are done on time. Among them, I have spread accountability across members of our Board of Directors and volunteer workers to share responsibility to meeting these vital deadlines. I take full responsibility for this oversight and feel confident that the plans we put in place will ensure it does not happen again. Now that our organization is entirely volunteer run, we send 100% of funds to direct program related activities. Any penalties that we pay due to my oversight will be primarily punishing members of the community who rely on our support now more than ever. We ask for an abatement of penalties so that we can continue offering that support unencumbered. As a final note, I attempted to send in this late filing in December 2022, but the online systems were not working for me to submit them. I appreciate your time and am available to answer any further questions about this matter. Yan Digilov Executive Director The Firestarter Group
