This program involves creating mixed teams of refugee and non-refugee young women. We use soccer events to advocate for build more inclusion, kindness, and excellence in our communities around the world. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8a We are working on formalizing and strengthening the Board in 2024 and beyond and will ensure meetings are properly documented. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b We are working on formalizing and strengthening the Board in 2024 and beyond and will ensure meetings are properly documented. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The 990 is available for the Board to review and will be proactively distributed to our expanded Board in future years, especially those with financial backgrounds to add value to the process. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Our governing documents are being refined and will be completed and published to our website as we finalize the new Board. Our current version of operating documents and financial information will continue to be available upon request. Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 Calculation error. With sincere apologies for the late filing we are late for the following reason: Our volunteer bookkeeper chose to go a different direction midyear, i.e., a paid position elsewhere, so the Executive Director was forced to do the books and prepare the filing while running and expanding the current programs. In an effort to keep admin costs down we primarily utilize volunteers, which makes us susceptible to volunteers quitting for paid jobs, which we understand. We will be allocating funds to paying for these essential services so this will not happen again. Thank you for understanding and for any leniency you can offer.
