“The Organization filed Articles of Dissolution with the State of Hawaiis Business Registration Division of the States Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs on June 24 2024. The Organization is Dissolved and exists only for the purposes of winding up affairs.”

“Due to the fact that the Organization is Dissolved and the remaining funds were diminimus and the fact that the Directors and Officers are now volunteers it was not deemed necessary have all of the Board members review the 990. They were however informed that the 990 was being filed prior to its filing so that they could request review if they desired. Additionally it should be noted that per a Board Resolution passed in late 2023 the CEO and COO each of whom also serve on the Board were designated authority to act on behalf of the Organization either individually or as a group in order to facilitate winding up of affairs for dissolution.”

“Our 990s are available on GuideStar and Charity Navigator as well as on the IRS website in addition we provide copies of filed 990s with all schedules to any person or entity who requests them.”

“| Explanation:| The Organization ceased Operations as reported on the 2023 990. The Organization filed Articles of Dissolution which were accepted by the State of Hawaii on June 24 2024 and are attached to this 990 for reference. The approval of the dissolution was granted by the State in the 2023 tax year and a copy was attached with the 2023 990. The following note about asset sale distribution was included on the 2023 990 and is included here for reference: We sold donated or disposed of most of our remaining office supplies medical supplies office furniture and medical furniture. We had not previously put these items in our books as assets due to the fact that nothing we owned was worth much. We had documented the acquisition cost of items which we purchased as expenses so it would be double-dipping to claim a cost-basis now. We had actually approached an auction company and they told us they werent interested in attempting to sell our Organizations personal property.”
