The Atwater Foundation partnered with the Lawrence and Irene Clark Academy to deliver a week-long, hands-on, project-based STEM and Leadership Academy for rising 4th-grade students at Southeast Raleigh Elementary School in Raleigh, NC. This program provided underrepresented students with opportunities to expand their worldviews, strengthen academic and social skills, engage in STEM-related activities, and explore the cultural relevance of their learning experiences. 0 1000 1000 Koren D Townsend President 30 0 0 0 Lewis Atwater Jr Board Member 15 0 0 0 Mitchell Townsend Board Member 5 0 0 0 Clarence Clayton Board Member 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NC Koren D Townsend 3016 SLIPPERY CREEK CT RALEIGH NC 27616 9195396137 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 3100 4175 7620 3049 17944 0 3100 4175 7620 3049 17944 17944 17944 1 1 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Advertising and Marketing;407|Catering and Meals;310|Software and Apps;576|Supplies;562|Taxes and Licenses;275|Website Hosting and Domains;960^Total;3090^ The organization has consistently upheld its duties as a tax-exempt entity and did not willfully disregard its filing requirements. The late submission of Form 990-EZ arose from unanticipated disruptions in our accounting operations during a leadership transition. This restructuring period created administrative challenges, resulting in the inadvertent omission of timely return filings and the subsequent revocation of our tax-exempt status. Since then, we have taken decisive action to restore and maintain compliance: we have reinforced internal controls, refined our administrative procedures, and engaged a year-round bookkeeper and tax preparer to oversee financial recordkeeping and promptly notify the board of any compliance issues. We respectfully submit this statement as reasonable cause for our delayed filing and request its acceptance.
