ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0Fundacion Ecologica Educativa received its 501c3 determination letter at the end of December 2024. As a small organization with very limited staff, our team was fully focused on carrying out community programs and adjusting to new compliance requirements. Nonetheless, during this transition, and due to an unintentional oversight, we did not realize the filing deadline for our annual return had passed. As soon as we became aware of the omission, we prepared the required return and implemented measures to prevent future delays. We respectfully request reasonable cause relief based on our good-faith efforts and immediate corrective actions.
