| Summary of our activities 1. Mentorship Our core activity is mentorship. We match mentees who are interested in pursuing high impact careers with more experienced mentors for a series of one-on-one meetings. Our mentor base includes over 100 people from a diversity of professional backgrounds, including people working in the majority of prominent EA institutions. The interest areas and seniority of our mentees is highly variable with some being recent graduates and others in leadership positions. Since late 2019, we have matched and facilitated the mentoring of over 300 people. We additionally have mentees and mentors in over 30 countries, and all inhabited continents. On average across our cohort, around 40% of our mentees are people of color. We are particularly excited to take on mentees who have demonstrated aptitude to pursue a high-impact career, enthusiasm and commitment to EA ideas, and a sense of how a mentor could assist them in achieving their goals. We currently run two mentorship rounds a year, each lasting six months, with mentees and mentors meeting monthly for 30-90 minutes. Since September 2019, we have run three rounds, and are currently starting our fourth. We match people based on the information expressed in their application and, when necessary, a short call with our team. We provide our mentors with the applications of the mentees we think they would be a good fit for and once we receive confirmation, the mentee and mentor have an initial meeting and are asked to complete a short form on the suitability of the match. If both parties are happy to proceed, they continue to meet throughout the mentoring round. We check in on a monthly basis and provide mentoring resources, including an optional Guidance Sheet with discussion points for six meetings. Since the beginning of Round 3 (February 2021), we have run Mentor Sharing Sessions where our mentors can share expertise and connect. 2. Community Facilitating connections outside of traditional one-on-one mentoring has become an increasing priority for WANBAM due to community feedback. We run an active WANBAM Slack, six icebreaker events per round, and facilitate peer-group and one-on-one connections for both mentees and mentors. 3. Training We have run one multi-session, externally led, training on confidence-building, negotiation, imposter-syndrome, and feedback. This was well-received, in large part as it offered mentors and mentees the opportunity to connect with one another on topics that affect their well-being and productivity. During Round 4, with the assistance of experts in mental health who have experience working with the EA community, we are designing and delivering an evidence-based and targeted training program on imposter syndrome. This topic was the most requested by round three applicants in their mentee expression of interest forms. Imposter-syndrome is also raised as a concern by mentors and mentees alike. Depending on the reception, we will likely continue to run the sessions with further cohorts and potentially expand to run training on other skills. 4. Recruitment We run a referral service for EA-aligned organizations who are seeking to recruit from diverse candidate pools. We additionally work with promising applicants during the process to support them and encourage them to apply for relevant opportunities. 5. One-on-one calls Our team has a number of one-on-one calls with people who are interested in pursuing high-impact careers or want to learn more about EA. These tend to be for people who find us between our mentoring rounds and those who are not accepted to the full mentorship program. Results The most frequently mentioned program strengths were mentorship, a diverse and supportive community, varied activities, and excellent program management. These tables report responses throughout time to the post-mentorship evaluation forms. The scores are an average response to a score out of 10. Where "n/a" is indicated it is because we did not ask the question during that round. Mentee responses Mentor responses Impact Most of the responses are from Round 3, as this is when we introduced specific feedback questions relating to plan changes. A number of our recruitment referrals have proceeded to the late stages of hiring rounds at EA-aligned organizations with some securing highly competitive positions. Two talented mentees secured OpenPhil Early Career Incubation Funding with one reporting "a major part of getting to this stage is because of all the support I have received from you, my mentor, and everyone you've introduced me to through WANBAM, so I am endlessly grateful, thank you so much for everything you have done for me." A mentee reported that with the support of WANBAM they had secured funding from OpenPhil to pursue an MA researching longtermist concerns, they attributed a 70% chance of dropping out without funding. A new hire at a large meta EA organization stated that WANBAM played a "major role" in applying. A mentee went on to work with her mentor on a longtermist project. Multiple mentees reported that the confidence they had built during the program had inspired them to apply for high-impact roles and become increasingly involved in the EA community. A number of mentees reported that they had secured promotions at their work (both EA-aligned organizations) with the guidance of their mentor. One mentee secured an internship with the UK civil service following guidance from her mentor. One mentor recommended a research policy fellowship to her mentee which she applied to and was granted. The majority of mentees reported i) making multiple supportive connections through WANBAM, ii) being introduced to resources that helped them, and iii) that their mentors had guided them through challenging situations both in a professional and personal context. | $105,080 | $48,192 |

| ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt | 0 | Reasonable Cause Explanation for Late-Filed Return As a small organization with limited resources, WANBAM, a District of Columbia nonprofit corporation with EIN 85-0696012 (the "Organization"), respectfully requests abatement of the late filing penalty and interest for the Form 990-EZ return for the tax year ending April 30, 2021 (the "2020 Form 990-EZ"). Although the Organization attempted to submit its 2020 Form 990-EZ on a timely basis prior to the September 15, 2021 deadline, the Organization mistakenly filed an incomplete Form 990-EZ by omitting Schedule A to Form 990. This omission was unintentional. Additionally, the Organization mistakenly tried to file the 2020 Form 990-EZ by mail instead of electronically. This action was made in good faith to try to file the return, but the Organization was unaware that the 2020 Form 990-EZ was required to be submitted electronically. The Organization will ensure that, in the future, it timely and electronically files completed annual returns with all applicable schedules as directed by the IRS. The Organization respectfully requests a waiver of the late filing penalty and interest associated with the untimely submission of its 2020 Form 990-EZ because its failure to properly file the 2020 Form 990-EZ was due to reasonable cause. As a nascent organization with limited resources, the Organization was unaware of the requirement to submit Schedule A with its Form 990-EZ submission and to electronically file the return. We also believe abatement of the penalty and interest furthers tax administration in order to allow the Organization to devote its limited resources to accomplishing its tax-exempt purposes. Please note that this 2020 Form 990-EZ submission is an amended return intended to supersede the Organization's erroneous 2020 Form 990-N submission for the tax period ending on April 30, 2021. In attempting to file the Organization's Form 990-N for the Organization's initial tax period from April 13, 2020 - April 30, 2020, the Organization inadvertently filed the Form 990-N for the tax period from May 1, 2020 - April 30, 2021. We hope that you will understand that the Organization's delinquency was reasonable under these circumstances and that you will consider the self-correction as a mitigating factor. The Organization respectfully requests that the IRS determine the Organization has reasonable cause and waive the assessment of penalties and interest for the late filing of the 2020 Form 990- EZ. PENALTIES OF PERJURY DECLARATION I, Kathryn Mecrow, President of WANBAM, declare, under penalties of perjury, that I am authorized to sign this request for abatement on behalf of WANBAM, and I further declare that I have examined this request for abatement, including the written explanation of all of the facts of the claim for reasonable cause, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, this request is true, correct, and complete.
