In prior years, the organization was eligible to file Form 990-N because its gross receipts were normally $50,000 or less. During the 2025 tax year, the organization experienced increased activity and support connected to its arts education programming and transition into expanded community-based work. As a small, volunteer-led nonprofit, we misunderstood the timing and filing requirements connected to moving from the 990-N e-Postcard to Form 990-EZ. The late filing was not due to willful neglect. Once we understood that Form 990-EZ was required, we gathered the necessary financial records, completed the return, and are filing it as soon as possible. Starts with Arts Foundation has made a good-faith effort to remain compliant and has implemented improved internal procedures to track annual revenue thresholds, filing deadlines, required schedules, and state and federal reporting obligations going forward. We respectfully request that any late filing penalty be abated based on reasonable cause, the organization's small size, prior filing history, and prompt corrective action.
