      <ExplanationTxt>Through FY 2023, the organization has not had paid staff and relies on volunteer support for administrative functions. Historically, we have completed the Form 990 by the end of December after the close of the fiscal year, and we apologize for failing to submit our request for extension, as we did last year. We have tried to keep our administrative expenses low so that we could maximize the amount of funds available for scholarships to graduates of North Chicago Community High School. However, in FY 2024, we plan to retain an audit firm to audit our financial statements and prepare the Form 990.</ExplanationTxt>
