| ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt | 0 | We had a former volunteer who claimed to be handling these filings for us and we did not realize until recently that it had not been kept up to date. This is a very small organization with no paid staff and we all have other careers so unfortunately this slipped through the cracks but we are committed to catching up and returning to being compliant now. |
