Board members were given the opportunity to review the return, ask questions, and provide comments before it was finalized and submitted to the Internal Revenue Service. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The organization maintains a written conflict of interest policy that requires officers and directors to disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest on an annual basis and whenever a conflict arises. Any disclosed conflicts are reviewed by the Board of Directors, and affected individuals recuse themselves from deliberations and voting when appropriate. Compliance with the policy is monitored through annual disclosures and Board oversight. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The compensation of the Executive and Artistic Director was established and approved by the independent Board of Directors using comparable compensation data, the individual's qualifications, duties, and organizational responsibilities. The Board documented its review and approval in the meeting minutes. This compensation review was most recently conducted during the 2023 tax year. No directors received compensation for their service on the Board. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements were available to the public upon request. In addition, selected governing documents and financial information were made available through the organization's website and its annual IRS Form 990 filings. The organization's Form 990 for the short tax year ended June 30, 2023, was filed late due to an unintentional administrative oversight during the transition from a calendar year to a fiscal year reporting period. The change in tax year created confusion regarding the filing requirements and due date for the short-period return. The organization did not intend to disregard its filing obligations and has since implemented procedures to ensure all future federal information returns are prepared and filed on a timely basis. The organization has a history of compliance and respectfully requests that any applicable penalties be abated based on reasonable cause.
