“2023 was not a productive year for Extending Mercies. Our fund-raising efforts were unproductive. We closed our savings and checking accounts on March 30, 2023. As we have moved into 2024, there are now some people with interest in the venture who are considering making 501(C)3 status us still active.Our 501(C)3 acceptance letter gave an effective date of our exemption of April 6, 2021. It also said that if we did not file required tax returns for three consecutive years our exempt status would be revoked. We have filed for 2021 and 2022, and are hereby filing for 2023. We are thus asserting to potential contributors that our 501(C)3 status is still active.As was done in our 2022 990-EZ Schedule O, we continue to note that the information in the first two paragraphs of the 2021 Schedule O, as filed, remain in effect and are not repeated here. In other words, the long-term strategy and operational intentions for EM remain the same.Form 990EZ, lines 8, Other revenue, and 20, Other changes in net assets or fund balances: Culley W. Davis, the Chief Executive Officer of EM, supplied $25.00 on January 30, 2023 to add to the $13.00 balances in both the checking and savings account ($26.00 total) that had been carried forward at the start of the year, and to keep either of those accounts from going into the negative balance. As noted above, the accounts were closed on March 30, 2023, with the remaining closing balances of $33.00 total being returned to Mr. Davis. Twenty-six dollars ofd this returned to Mr. Davis was a refunding of equity investments he had previously made in EM. The other $7.00 has bee considered by us to be contractor compensation for Mr. Davis's services to the entity and is included in the line 16 Other Expenses as shown below.Form 990-EZ, line 16 Other expense:Key bank savings accounts service charges $8.00Key bank checking accounts service charges 10.00Contract compensation 7.00 Total of above for line 16 $25.00Form 990-EZ, lines 35a and 35b: There were no business operations in 2023 conducted under the auspices of EM; so, a 990-T is not required.Form 990-EZ, lines 44c and 44d: EM has not had, nor will ever have, any involvement of any kind in indoor tanning services. We have received no payments from such services, and have therefore not filed a Form 720.”
