| ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt | 0 | Our organization, Atelier de la Nature, is a small grassroots nonprofit operated primarily by volunteers with limited administrative capacity. As we transitioned from filing 990-N to the more complex 990-EZ after experiencing growth in revenue, we faced delays in preparing the return. This was unintentional and not due to willful neglect. We have since taken steps to improve our record keeping and filing process. We respectfully request penalty relief due to reasonable cause and our prompt corrective action. |
