In October 2023 the organization experienced a significant and unforeseen incident when a truck crashed into its facility causing extensive damage and rendering the building unsafe and uninhabitable. The fire department prohibited occupancy requiring the organization to vacate immediately. The effects of this incident extended into early 2024. The organization operated from a temporary location for approximately four months while recovering from the incident reconstructing damaged or lost records and restoring administrative operations. These ongoing disruptions delayed the organizations ability to timely compile and verify the financial information necessary for filing. Once administrative stability was restored the organization acted in good faith to complete and submit the return as promptly as possible. SEE SCHEDULE O
