Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Form 990 was reviewed by the organization's founder and governing body prior to filing. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The organization monitors compliance with its conflict of interest policy through annual disclosures and review by the governing body. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request. Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 Founder advances recorded as loans payable; expenses funded through liabilities rather than net assets. Kareem's Mission is a newly established nonprofit organization in its first year of operations. The organization was funded through founder advances and did not have paid staff or prior experience with Form 990 filing requirements. Additional time was required to properly compile financial records, classify founder advances as loans payable, and ensure accurate reporting across all required schedules. Upon recognizing the filing requirement, the organization acted promptly and in good faith to complete and submit an accurate return. The delay was not due to willful neglect, and the organization respectfully requests abatement of any late filing penalties.
