FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 THE ORGANIZATION MAKES ITS GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST THE ORGANIZATION IS A SMALL NOT FOR PROFIT RUN BY VOLUNTEERS. SINCE THE PANDEMIC BEGAN, THE ORGANIZAITON HAS BEEN TRYING TO RECRUIT ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEERS AND RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS THROUGH ITS PROGRAMS IN ORDER TO SUPPORT A PART-TIME BOOKKEEPER. THE PRECAUTIONS NECESSARY IN NEW JERSEY FOR 2020 AND EVEN INTO 2021 WERE VERY HARD FOR THE ORGANIZATION AND THE BOOKEEPER/MUSEUM COORDINATOR THAT THE ORGANIZATION DID HAVE RESIGNED HER POSITION. AS SUCH, THE ORGANIZATION WAS LATE TO GATHER ITS INFORMATION IN ORDER TO FILE THE 2021 RETURN. FORTUNATELY NOW, THE ORGANIZATION HAS RECRUITED A BOOKKEEPER AND HAS FILED ITS 2022 FORM 990 TIMELY. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEET MONTHLY AND REVIEW ALL ASPECTS OF THE ORGANIZATION, INCLUDING ITS FILING RESPONSIBILITIES AND TAKE THOSE MATTERS VERY SERIOUSLY. IF A PENALTY WAS IMPOSED ON THE ORGANIZATION, THE AMOUNT WOULD PRESENT A HARDSHIP FOR THE ORGANIZATION TO PAY. RESPECTFULLY, THE ORGANIZATION IS ASKING FOR ABATEMENT OF ANY LATE FILING PENALTIES FOR 2021. ADDITIONALLY, THE ORGANIZATION HAS ALSO PARTNERED WITH AN ACCOUNTING FIRM, WHO WILL ULTIMATELY ASSIST GOING FORWARD TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ORGANIZATION MEETS ITS FILING RESPONSIBILITIES TIMELY IN THE FUTURE.
