As part of communicating with and educating the public, we also prepared and issued text messages re: Supreme Court integrity issues. We also prepared a mailer, posted October 2020, regarding the Covid 19 governmental response and the Covid relief bills, identifying Sen. Daines work for and support of childcare funding, business support, increased access to testing, etc., in Covid 19 relief bill.(2) Montana Economic MetricsBetween December 2020 and March 2021, American Leadership Fund engaged Arduin, Laffer & Moore, an economic metrics firm, for an Economic Study on Montana. This activity provides important information about relevant segments of the American public, and allowed American Leadership to better formulate its issue messages in support of these values, and the very non-profit purpose of the corporation. This activity is part of the process of educating the public on the issues of the day which impact their lives, families, and businesses; and to emphasize the importance of civ responsibilities and involvement. Economic conditions and policies clearly impact their lives. The Corporations nonprofit purpose is to issue advocacy, and this activity timely addressed significant issues, all in support of American Leaderships nonprofit purpose.(3) West Virginia ModelingFrom September 2021 into Winter 2021-2022, American Leadership Fund is and will continue to model the state of West Virginia to better understand West Virginias positive features, e.g., Transparent state government; Diverse and robust economy; Fair and secure elections; Strong workforce; and measuring the issues West Virginians care about in relation to American Leadership Funds values and mission. Planning to conduct town halls and roundtables on and about ALFs values and issues as primary means of public education and engagement, and no plans to engage mailers and digital ads. Determinations will be made on form of education,communication and message as appropriate, based on results of modeling and research.

Reasonable Cause Explanation ReasonableCauseExplanation

ExplanationWhen attempting to e-file its 2021 Form 990 on 06-28-2023, the return was rejected (rejection code F990-911-04). On the organization initial Form 990, an incorrect yearend of 08/31 was used. Because the wrong yearend was used on the 2020 Form 990, this has caused 2021 & 2022 Form 990 to been filed late. Have been working with the E-hepl desk toget return e-filed In the future, the taxpayer will file their Form 990 timely and on the calendar year. Therefore, we are asking for the late filing penalty to be waivedExplanationTxt
