The organization's executive leadership reviewed the form before distribution. No formal review process beyond the board review is in place at this time. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 The organization is in its formation phase and is actively developing internal policies and procedures. During this first year, governing documents, the conflict of interest policy, and financial statements were not yet made publicly available. Completing this Form 990 has helped identify key areas for strategic development, and the organization looks forward to implementing practices that promote transparency and public access moving forward. Form 990 for the tax year ending Deceber 31 2024 is being filed late due to reasonable cause. As a newly formed 501(c)(3) organization incorporated in 2024 who received the IRS determination letter in December 2024, the executive team was in the process of establishing accounting procedures and erroneously misunderstood the initial filing requirements. Upon discovery of the oversight during the preparation of the 2025 990 return, the organization acted with due diligence to immediately compile the necessary data to file the 2024 990 return. We respectfully ask forgiveness and request a waiver of any late filing penalties.
