These costs were capitalized and are reflected on the organizations balance sheet rather than as current year expenses. The organization received funding in a prior year in the form of a forgivable loan. A portion of this funding is recognized annually as income in accordance with the terms of the agreement. During 2024, $49,289.84 was recognized as grant income. Part VI, Line 2 A member of the governing board has a familial relationship with the President. No board members received compensation, and the organization had no paid staff during 2024. As part of its future development plans, the organization intends to recruit additional independent board members to strengthen governance beginning in 2025-2026. Part VI, Line 11b The Form 990 was prepared based on the organizations financial records and reviewed by the governing body. Part VI, Line 12c The organization maintains a conflict of interest policy that is reviewed with board members. Board members are expected to disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest as they arise. Any disclosed conflicts are reviewed by the board, and the interested individual is recused from discussions and decisions as appropriate. The organization monitors compliance through ongoing communication and oversight by the board. Part VI, Line 19 The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request. Requests may be submitted to the organization, and copies are provided in a timely manner. Amend note This return has been amended to correct prior year ending balances and related balance sheet items to ensure accurate reporting. No other material changes have been made. The organization was unable to file its 2024 Form 990 by the original due date due to unforeseen circumstances. Historically, the organization has filed Form 990-N (e-Postcard) as its annual gross receipts were under $50,000. However, during the 2024 tax year, the organization received a prorated grant, which required filing a full Form 990. The organization initially engaged an individual to prepare and file the return; however, due to unexpected medical issues, that individual was unable to complete the filing. As a result, the organization had to seek an alternative preparer, which caused an unintended delay. The organization has made every effort to comply with IRS filing requirements and is taking steps to ensure timely filings in the future. The failure to file on time was not willful neglect but due to reasonable cause as described above.
