Friends with Abilities is a newly established nonprofit organization in its first full year of operation. During this initial period, the organization was developing its administrative systems, financial procedures, and volunteer leadership structure. As a small, volunteer-led organization, we were unfamiliar with certain IRS filing requirements and deadlines, including the Form 990 filing process. The late filing was not intentional and did not result from willful neglect. Upon becoming aware of the filing requirement, we took immediate steps to prepare and submit the required return and to strengthen our internal compliance procedures. We have since implemented improved recordkeeping, board oversight, and compliance practices to ensure timely filings in the future. Friends with Abilities is committed to full compliance with all IRS reporting requirements and to maintaining transparency and accountability in our operations. We respectfully request consideration for reasonable cause and waiver of any penalties associated with this late filing.
