The primary resources used by Embracing Purpose Ministry are two study workbooks, i.e., "Embracing Purpose Self-Discovery Workbook" for free-world women and "Embracing Purpose On the Inside and Beyond" for incarcerated women. The primary methods used to teach these concepts are group classes taught by trained volunteers. These classes are either taught in-person or virtually via Zoom for free-world women. All classes for incarcerated women are taught in-person inside the incarceration facility.

Due in part to the Covid epidemic of 2020 and subsequent illnesses my husband has simply not been able to keep up with the Embracing Purpose non-profit ministry tax filings. As a volunteer, he handles all of the ministry bookkeeping and filing of the annual 990 EZ forms in addition to all order fulfillment functions. He is 78 years old and was sick a lot of the 2020 year (and following years to the present time.) He did manage to get the 2020 990 EZ filed late and has now completed this 2021 990 EZ. I absolutely promise I will get the 2022 and 2023 990 EZ forms filed within the next two or three months and the 2024 Form 990 EZ filed on time. This is a small ministry that operates on a pretty tight budget. A significant late-filing penalty would put a big strain on the ministry. Most likely I would have to pay a significant penalty out of my own pocket. So, I respectfully ask that no late-filing penalty be assessed, and if that is not possible that any late-filing penalty be minimal. Thank you for your understanding and assistance.
