ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0We respectfully submit this explanation regarding the delayed filing of our Form 990 for the 2024 tax year. Our organization, like many small nonprofits, is primarily volunteer-run and recently underwent an internal restructuring to better serve our community. During this time of transition, several administrative tasks, including the timely filing of our 990, unfortunately fell through the cracks. Additionally, our founder and primary administrator recently completed her Master of Social Work (MSW), which temporarily added to the workload and capacity challenges we faced. While this period of growth and change has positioned us for greater long-term impact, it also contributed to a short-term lapse in compliance. We understand the importance of maintaining timely and accurate filings and are taking proactive steps to strengthen our internal processes and ensure that all future IRS requirements are met on time. We respectfully request that any penalties associated with this late filing be waived due to reasonable cause, and we thank you for your understanding and consideration.
