The organization has taken actions to ensure that all future filings will be timely including retaining an outside CPA firm to e-file future 990s and hiring a permanent Executive Director. The organization operated in good faith, and we believe the facts and circumstances outlined above support an abatement of the penalty especially given that steps have been taken to ensure that all future filings will be timely.
