A draft copy of the return was provided to all members of the Board of Directors prior to filing. Board members were given adequate time to review the return, ask questions, and provide feedback. The return was reviewed for accuracy and completeness, and approved by the board before submission to the IRS. Part VI, Line 12c Yes. Stay Here regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with its conflict of interest policy. Each board member and key employee is required to annually complete and sign a conflict of interest disclosure form.

Part VI, Line 15b The compensation for the CEO and other key employees was determined using a formal process that included review and approval by independent, non-compensated board members.

Part XI, Line 9 Line 9 reflects an equity adjustment related to retained earnings not recorded in current year revenue, and reconciliation of prior period classifications in the accounting system. These are non-operating adjustments necessary to align net asset balances with year-end totals. We respectfully request relief from penalties for the late filing of our Form 990. The delay was due to unforeseen administrative challenges and limited staffing capacity during a critical season of organizational growth and transition. Stay Here is a small nonprofit focused on suicide prevention and mental health resources. During the filing period, our team was prioritizing the launch of key programs and partnerships serving high-risk populations, and our internal resources were stretched thin. As soon as the oversight was discovered, we took immediate steps to complete and submit the return. We have since implemented new internal procedures to ensure timely filings in future years. We respectfully ask the IRS to consider this a reasonable cause for the delay and waive any associated penalties.
