FORM 990-EZ Late Filing, Penalty Abatement Statement

Sifa International strives to do everything to the best of our ability. We regret that we are late in filing our taxes, that was not our intent but it has happened. The reasons are two fold. In March 2020 we had an entire overhaul of volunteers who work with and support Sifa International. While we were transitioning the person who takes care of our accounts, missed the fact that we needed to file.Secondly, at the same time this transition was happening, the board and directors of Sifa Intl were in between the two countries (Tanzania and USA)because of COVID - meaning they had to evacuate Tanzania and immediately return to the States. During this time is when the transition of volunteers was happening as well. At this time we continued on with our accounting and transitioning to a new volunteer to take over the management and overseeing of our finances. Filing of taxes was not discussed during the transition and as the directors were in transition themselves, this is why we missed filing.As soon as we realized we had neglected to file, we immediately took action. We have hired a firm to help us manage our filing each year. It is our goal and promise to never have this happen again. We have hired a wonderful firm whom we will be communicating and hiring yearly to help us file properly. Thank you for your understanding. Again, we at Sifa International strive for excellence and weare grieved that we missed the mark on filing our taxes. We ask that you forgive us of any late penalties.Thank you for your time and considering our request.Sincerely,ShantelleBoard Director, Co-Founder of Sifa International
