IRS990ScheduleL/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Part II, Line I: The organization received a loan from its president, Thomas Holm, to fund initial operating costs. This financial arrangement carries 0% interest and has no specific payment terms, allowing the organization to repay the loan when sufficient funding becomes available. Due to these flexible conditions, no formal agreement was established, nor was prior board approval needed. The transaction essentially functions as a reimbursement payable rather than a conventional loan. The organization remains committed to adhering to its conflict of interest policy and maintaining compliance with the criteria outlined under Treasury Regulation 53.4958-6.

ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0The organization was newly formed in February 2023, and the 2023 Form 990-EZ represents its first required filing with the Internal Revenue Service. As a new nonprofit, the organization was still establishing its administrative processes while focusing on launching programs and securing initial funding. The organization failed to timely file due to inexperience as a newly formed entity. Upon discovering this oversight, the organization immediately took steps to complete its filing. The organization has now implemented improved procedures to ensure all future filings will be completed on time, including engaging nonprofit counsel to prepare all annual returns and reports going forward. The organization takes its reporting responsibilities seriously and is committed to full compliance with all IRS requirements. Given that this is the first filing as a new organization and the good faith efforts to remedy the situation, the organization respectfully requests that the late filing penalties be abated.
