RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Item B - Amended Return The foundation previously filed Form 990-N because its gross receipts and overall activity were below the threshold for a longer-form return in prior years and that filing position was consistent with its historical operations. During the current year the organization entered into its first material MOU-based program relationship which materially changed its activities and required closer review of its filing obligations. Because the organization relied on its prior filing pattern and did not immediately recognize that the new activity together with its year-end financial results required a Form 990-EZ rather than Form 990-N it inadvertently filed Form 990-N in error. Once the year-end information and supporting documentation were reviewed the organization determined that a Form 990-EZ was required and is now filing the correct return as soon as the error was discovered.
