Our free video library allows users to explore and share video content about most energy-related topics. It includes our own feature films, a lab series, primers, and much more. We'll soon organize the video library to provide a structured journey through the world of energy, which academic, professional and government leaders can tailor to their learning and experience levels. This will include an accredited video-based course for university and upper level high school students. We also encourage students and other users to participate in productive energy discussions through university partnerships and educator-led student work groups.$0$5,807

ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0We respectfully request abatement of any late filing penalties and interest due to reasonable cause. We had a fiscal sponsorship agreement with another charity in 2016. Our understanding was that the fiscal sponsor was handling all tax filing requirements on our behalf. When we hired a cpa to prepare the 2017 tax return, we realized that the 2016 tax return was not filed, and we immediately began preparing the 2016 tax return. we regret the misunderstanding about who was responsible for the tax filings, but we believed in good faith that we were in compliance. We will continue to use a cpa to advise us on all future tax filings and ensure that we comply with all requirements to maintain exempt status.
