During the spring of 2025 our organization was heavily engaged in hurricane relief efforts across Western North Carolina which demanded the full attention of our all-volunteer leadership team. At the same time we were unfamiliar with the change in filing requirements from Form 990-N to Form 990-EZ. We mistakenly believed an extension applied automatically. As soon as we became aware of our obligation we took immediate steps to complete and submit Form 990-EZ. The delay was due to our limited administrative capacity and urgent disaster response work not willful neglect. We are volunteer run. We respectfully request abatement of any late filing penalties. We have now implemented internal reminders and procedures to ensure timely compliance with IRS filing requirements in all future years.
