ExplanationIn 2018, the organization purchased a residential property intended to support and further its exempt purposes. In 2023, due to an error by outside legal counsel, the property was incorrectly titled in the name of the then Executive Director, Lenny Simpson. Following Mr. Simpson's passing, title transferred to his wife, JoAnn Simpson, who subsequently assumed the role of Executive Director.While the property was titled in the names of Lenny and/or JoAnn Simpson, they resided on-site and were responsible for managing daily operations, youth programs, and facility maintenance. The tennis court located on the property, integral to the organization's youth programming, remained in continuous use. The value of fair market rent for their onsite lodging was reported as other compensation to Lenny and/or JoAnn Simpson. Once the titling error was identified, JoAnn Simpson promptly initiated corrective action and engaged legal counsel to remedy the issue. The deed was formally transferred back to the organization on February 4, 2025. The Board of Directors was notified and has actively overseen the remediation process.The organization did not intend to confer an improper private benefit, and the individuals involved were unaware of the titling error when it occurred. The organization remains committed to full compliance and transparency and has taken all necessary steps to correct the matter and implement procedures to prevent a recurrence.ExplanationTxt
