Part VI, Line 19 GOVERNING DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. Part VI, Line 2 SEVERAL BOARD MEMBERS ARE RELATED. In 2020, our longtime Certified Public Accountant passed away unexpectedly from COVID-19. Unfortunately, we were not notified of his passing until 2021. Once informed, we secured a new firm to file our 2020 and 2021 tax returns, which were completed accordingly. Tragically, in 2022, DBHM experienced the sudden loss of our Executive Director, Rosemary Doleman Lucas, and the departure of our Treasurer, Tamara Doleman. These events disrupted our operations and resulted in the dissolution of our working relationship with the accounting firm that had been managing our tax filings. In 2023, DBHM appointed a new Treasurer, Executive Director, and Accounting Specialist. We were assured that the 2022 taxes had been filed and that an extension for the 2023 filing had been submitted and approved. However, both the Treasurer and Accounting Specialist faced severe health issues that required multiple hospitalizations, surgeries, and extended rehabilitation stays. As a result, they were unable to continue in their roles and officially vacated their positions in the fall of 2024. A volunteer accounting specialist was brought on to help the organization in filing our tax returns who realized that 2022 tax returns were misfiled by previous individuals. Please consider this as our reasonable cause explanation for filing the 2022 tax return late. The Doleman Black Heritage Museum remains committed to compliance and transparency, and we are actively working to correct the oversight. We humbly request that the IRS grant a waiver of all penalties associated with the late filing of our 2022 tax return.
