ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0Open Boulder is a fairly new organization and we were completing our fiscal records from 2016 and finding our way through the 990 process in May. We had the form almost completed and applied for an extension, but found out that we had been denied due to a misunderstanding of the deadline. We are therefore rushing the form to completion today.
