      <ExplanationTxt>North Chicago Public Education Foundation (NCPEF) does not have a full-time staff member yet. It relies on the volunteer efforts of its board members. NCPEF did not hire an outside auditing form to prepare its Form 990. It was prepared internally, and we did not know of the requirement to file electronically. Please note that a paper copy of the form was submitted in December 2021.</ExplanationTxt>
