Chop & Annette and the rest of the Board of Directors relied upon their legal advisers to inform them of the various legal and financial consequences of donating to and running the foundation. The Board had experience with business matters, but not with respect to operational issues related to a charitable organization. It appeared that the attorneys were handling matters initially, but as the process dragged out longer and longer, it became apparent the attorneys that had been engaged were not familiar with the exemption application process and matters related to the asset initially being donated (shares of the family's privately held pistachio farming business). So the Foundation had to terminate the relationship.As a consequence, the Board quickly engaged new attorneys that were familiar with charitable organizations in March 2026 to assist with the filing of the organization's federal and state exemption application. The attorneys were able to complete the application in order to meet the deadline for the exemption to be approved retroactive to the organization's formation in January 2024. The organization received formal approval of its exemption on April 7, 2026, less than a week after it submitted its application.The Foundation also engaged an accountant in April 2026 who promised to prepare the delinquent 2024 return as quickly as possible.The Foundation humbly requests that the IRS waive the late filing penalty for this return of approximately $51,500 (actual filing date is 6/30/26, approximately 412 days from the initial 5/15/25 filing deadline). The Foundation suffered from lack of proper guidance initially but has corrected its errors and will be extremely focused on its responsibilities going forward. The penalties will hurt the community since such funds won't be able to be used to serve charitable purposes.This statement is made under penalties of perjury.
