The delay was due to unforeseen administrative challenges during a period of significant organizational transition, including changes in volunteer leadership and part-time staffing. These changes impacted our ability to compile the required financial documentation and ensure timely preparation of the return. As a small nonprofit with limited resources, Arttitude relies heavily on volunteer capacity and occasional contracted support. Once the oversight was identified, we acted promptly to complete and submit the required filing. We have since implemented improved recordkeeping practices, updated our compliance calendar, and established an internal review system to ensure timely filings in the future. We respectfully request relief from penalties due to reasonable cause under IRS guidelines. Our organization remains committed to full compliance with IRS regulations and the continued pursuit of our mission to uplift marginalized voices through the arts. Sincerely, Jerome Larez Board Chair May 27, 2025
