Our mission is to provide families in the Flathead Valley with engaging educational opportunities that foster problem-solving, imagination, and a lifelong love of learning through play. In 2024, Wildtorium concentrated its efforts on securing a permanent location, prioritizing this foundational step to ensure the success of future programs and community impact. During this phase, the organization strategically limited events, fundraising, and public outreach to focus resources on identifying the right space for long-term growth. 0 0 0 Brittney Crest Chairperson 10 0 0 0 Corrie Holloway Secretary 5 0 0 0 Kali Gillen Treasurer 5 0 0 0 Jeremy Ashby Director 5 0 0 0 Connita Parks Director 5 0 0 0 Jessica James Director 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MT Brittney Crest PO Box 10613 Kalispell MT 59904 4062607311 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 7829 6979 11455 2990 316 29569 7829 6979 11455 2990 316 29569 29569 7829 6979 11455 2990 316 29569 1 1 0 0 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Minimal operations: liability insurance, PO Box, etc Wildtorium is a newly formed 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the early stages of development. During 2024, our volunteer board and new leadership were focused on establishing the organization, securing a physical location, and launching initial fundraising efforts. As a small, start-up nonprofit without paid administrative staff at the time, we were unaware of the exact filing deadlines for Form 990-EZ and inadvertently missed the due date. The failure to file on time was not due to willful neglect, and once the oversight was discovered, we took immediate steps to complete and submit this return. We have since implemented stronger compliance practices, including assigning a designated officer responsibility for annual IRS filings and engaging professional accounting support, to ensure all future filings are accurate and submitted on time.
