The Treasurer and Executive Director prepared the return, and the full board had the opportunity to ask questions, provide feedback, and approve the filing before submission. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Annually, all board members and key employees are required to complete and sign a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form. The forms are collected and reviewed by the Board Secretary, and any potential conflicts are reported to the Board of Directors for resolution. Compliance is monitored at each board meeting through agenda review and discussion of relevant matters. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The Board of Directors uses a formal review process for determining compensation of the Executive Director and other officers. The process includes: (1) review and approval by independent board members with no conflicts of interest, (2) comparability data from similar organizations obtained through published nonprofit salary surveys, and (3) contemporaneous documentation of the decision in board meeting minutes. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Edens Rose Foundation makes its governing documents, Conflict of Interest Policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request by contacting the organization at its principal office. In addition, copies of the IRS Form 1023, Form 990, and related governing documents are posted on the organization's website and available through third-party nonprofit databases. Requests may be made in writing, by phone, or via email, and documents are provided promptly. The late filing of this return was due to circumstances beyond the organization's control. Edens Rose Foundation is a small nonprofit with limited administrative staff and resources. During the 2023 tax year, our team experienced significant transitions, including staff turnover and the illness of a key volunteer responsible for preparing and submitting compliance documents. In addition, our focus was on sustaining critical community programs-such as food distribution, housing rehabilitation, and youth mentorship-while navigating capacity challenges. As soon as the oversight was identified, we took immediate corrective actions to complete and submit the return, and we have implemented stronger internal procedures to ensure timely filings moving forward. These steps include securing additional administrative support, calendar reminders, and oversight from our Board Treasurer. The delay was unintentional, and the organization acted in good faith to remain compliant. We respectfully request that penalties be waived in light of these circumstances.
