A- South Bronx & Catskills - Rise Up and Feed the Bronx Family Programming - Mott Haven community gardeners, children, and their families. Programs create individual and group leadership skills for Bronx children and families. Upstate on Fern Dragon Farm and in Bronx Community Gardens, children and families learn organic farming techniques and increase nature awareness, nutrition, and wellness skills through art-making and games. The program grows leadership capabilities for Bronx residents, children, and young adults who want food and environmental justice for their neighborhoods. _Grant- $25,000 Expenditure- $26,000 ....................................................................................................................................................................... B - Lower East Side at Children's Magical Garden Family Programs This free camp ensures a beloved community garden serves the children who need it the most-- low-income city children who would not otherwise have access to nature. In our nature education programs, children are mentored by young educators and experienced gardeners and teachers. The children are immersed in permaculture, urban farming, strategies for youth activism, collaborative arts in nature, and herbal medicine to grow their unique creativity within group dynamics. We also go on trips to other community gardens and urban farms where the children can learn from wise urban farmers citywide. The inclusion of cooperative-style teaching deepens playful peer-to-peer learning. Parents and dedicated community garden members contribute to this camp's essential success and joy, strengthening the local community._____ Grant- $5,000 Exp- $5,300 | $30,000 | $31,400 |

As well as this bridge to the NYC urban farming, the More Gardens' Initiative aims to deliver a successful low-impact living development in New York State's Catskills, which will benefit the environment and local community economy. The achievements of the settlement will be utilized to multiply regenerative benefits through its use as a research and demonstration resource to promote best practices and support the development of similarly successful projects.

| ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt | 0 | Dear IRS, I trust this communication finds you well. I am writing to you to give you a comprehensive explanation for the delayed filing of taxes on behalf of More Gardens Fund. We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding about this. Our organization faced a confluence of challenges, including technical difficulties during our attempt to file for an extension through the Internet, limited funding and resources, and a transition to new accountants based in Florida who encountered additional complications due to intense hurricane activity in the region. Post-Covid, we experienced significant disruptions, losing both our accountants and funding. During this period, we prioritized addressing the needs of the community gardener families we serve, redirecting our focus toward their well-being. As we gradually located and onboarded a new team of accountants from Florida, we underwent a thorough process of transferring and restructuring our financials to ensure accuracy and compliance. Regrettably, these transitions and restructuring efforts resulted in delays in meeting our tax obligations. However, I am pleased to inform you that we have successfully caught up on our financial reporting with our current team of dedicated accountants. We have learned valuable lessons from these challenges, and the experiences have contributed to establishing a more robust and resilient financial management system. We want to assure the IRS of our unwavering commitment to compliance and transparency. We understand the importance of timely filings and have dedicated to fixing this situation. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter and look forward to quickly fulfilling our tax obligations. Gratefully, Aresh Javadi, ED |
