In 2023, Adoption Resource Connection successfully launched its Career Readiness Workshop, an interactive program designed to equip foster youth, adoptive families, and community members with essential tools for workforce success. The workshop served over 75 participants, providing hands-on training in resume writing, interview techniques, and professional etiquette. With the support of local professionals and volunteers, participants engaged in mock interviews, received individualized feedback, and left with customized resumes and a renewed sense of confidence. This impactful initiative marked an important step in expanding the organization's programming to address long-term stability and self-sufficiency for the foster and adoptive community. 0 1856 1856 Tiffany Winchester Founder/Executive Director 20 0 0 0 Yvonne Gamble Director 5 0 0 0 Crystal Durham Director 5 0 0 0 Belinda Andrews Director 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 AL Tiffany Winchester 600 Boulevard South SW Suite 104 Huntsville AL 35802 9382009410 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 3056 1800 4856 0 0 0 3056 1800 4856 4856 4856 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Program Expenses: workshop materials, guest speaker stipends, venue rental, refreshments, and printed resources such as workbooks and resumes. Adoption Resource Connection did not submit its Form 990-N on time due to a lack of awareness regarding the filing requirements for small nonprofit organizations. As a newly formed nonprofit operated solely by volunteers, the organization was unaware that even with limited activity and revenue below $50,000, an annual e-Postcard filing was still required to maintain good standing with the IRS. In addition, the founder experienced a personal loss with the passing of her mother, which impacted the organization's capacity to remain fully operational during that period. Since becoming aware of the filing requirement, the organization has taken corrective action by establishing a dedicated bank account, organizing financial records, and consulting professionals to ensure timely and accurate filings in the future. Adoption Resource Connection respectfully requests that this reasonable cause explanation be accepted to avoid revocation and continue its mission of supporting foster and adoptive families.
