El batey INC. is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to celebrate inspire and connect kids to their culture and each other so that together they can reimagine and reshape their future. We have always strived to comply with all IRS requirements and deadlines. Our Form 990-EZ for the tax year 2023 was due on May 15th 2023. However due to unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances we were unable to file the return on time. Specifically the delay was caused by our treasurer who is responsible for preparing and filing our tax return suffered a serious illness. This unexpected event left us without a qualified person to complete the necessary tax preparations. We are implementing improved internal controls to ensure timely filing in the future such as cross-training staff.
