The organization respectfully requests abatement of any penalties associated with the late filing of Form 990. The delay resulted from circumstances beyond the organization's control and was not due to willful neglect. Refugees Helping Refugees Inc. experienced unexpected administrative and staffing transitions during the financial year, along with delays in obtaining essential financial information from partner agencies and grant subrecipients. These factors temporarily hindered timely completion and review of accurate financial records needed to file Form 990. Upon recognizing the delay, the organization acted promptly and in good faith to compile the necessary data, engage qualified accounting support, and file the return as soon as practicable. The organization has since implemented internal controls and compliance procedures to prevent recurrence, including earlier coordination with accountants and additional oversight of filing timelines. The organization respectfully requests that penalties be waived in recognition of these good-faith efforts and reasonable cause.
