ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0Empower Me Organization had challenges transitioning to form 990-EZ from form 990-N due to limited resources in securing assistance with the reporting requirements. The organization is currently operating on a very thin margin and depends on volunteer services to maintain the books and accounting. The organization has been able to secure a new volunteer bookkeeper after losing the previous bookkeeper during the COVID pandemic. Empower me Organization has filed all the pending 990-EZ forms and will file within the expected deadline going forward.
