RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Hard copies provided by Managing Director and reviewed before submitting Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 All are available on request Stagebridge has been the victim of an unscrupulous and dishonest Managing Director.After she quit March 15, 2024, the Board discovered many problems created by her gross mismangement, the foremost of which is that the accounting computer failed at some point in 2023, destroying all previous accounting information, and was not replaced, meaning there was no accounting system in place, until, starting in the fall of 2024, all 2022-23 financial activity was painstakingly gathered from bank statements to enter into the new accounting system. Other misdeeds include: she said she had filed the 2022-23 990's, after she left the board discovered she had not; she had cancelled the payroll service in March 2023 without board knowledge, and proceeded to make payments to staff and teachers without documentation, which again had to be painstakingly recreated from bank statements, with the help of the former payroll service. The board met with her a few times, but inconsistencies and significant discrepancies in the information provided made it difficult to determine what was accurate. In addition to not filing the 990, the Managing Director had not provided the board with profit-and-loss statements, and had not provided the 2022-2023 budget despite repeated requests. She promised these would be forthcoming, but they were never delivered. Without our knowledge, Stagebridge was left in a deficit, with numerous unpaid invoices and rejected bank payments. The deficit made us unable to hire any support staff, leaving the work to 4 volunteer board members. We have proceeded with all due diligence to produce accurate financial statements for 2022-23, but to do so has been incredibly time-consuming, given what we had to work with. We learned of the state of affairs in April 2024; we had entered all financial activity by January 2025, and have been working to produce this 990 as fast as we could. We ask that our obstacles and difficulties be recognized and that no penalty be assessed. We want to assure that we have taken steps as a board to make sure this can never happen again.
