Reason for Late Filing: Abundance of Hope Center is a small nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting high-risk youth and families in historically underserved Black, Latino, and Indigenous communities. Our organization operates with limited staffing and resources, relying heavily on volunteers and minimal administrative support... During the filing period, unforeseen challenges significantly disrupted our operations: Staffing and Resource Constraints: As a nonprofit, we experienced a staffing shortage due to seasonal illness. This directly impacted our ability to gather and prepare the necessary documents on time... Increased Program Demands: Our organization was simultaneously responding to heightened community needs, including providing critical resources such as food, clothing, and housing support to families in crisis. These urgent priorities required immediate attention and diverted focus from administrative tasks... Unforeseen Circumstances: The Finance and Donation Director terminated her position without notice shortly before the 990 deadline... Despite these challenges, we took immediate corrective action as soon as we identified the delay. We completed and submitted the required filing promptly and have implemented measures to ensure timely compliance moving forward... Corrective Measures Taken: To prevent future occurrences, we have taken the following steps: Established an internal calendar system with clear filing deadlines, engaged with an external accountant to assist with future filings, and implemented regular reviews of compliance obligations to ensure timely submissions. Request for Penalty Relief: We respectfully request abatement of any penalties assessed due to this late filing. The delay was not due to willful neglect but rather a combination of unforeseen circumstances and resource limitations that were beyond our control. Abundance of Hope Center remains fully committed to meeting all regulatory requirements and operating in good standing. The penalty relief is critical for our organization as any financial burden directly impacts our ability to serve the vulnerable families and individuals who rely on our support. Conclusion: We kindly ask that you consider the challenges faced by Abundance of Hope Center and grant our request for penalty relief. We remain dedicated to our mission of serving marginalized communities and ensuring compliance with all federal requirements. Normal business care and prudence were followed, therefore the organization is requesting full abatement of any late filing penalties & fees.
