      <ExplanationTxt>The Pamela D. Franklin Cultural Center for the Performing Arts, Inc. 32-0339117 Statement for not filing on time Previously, our organization submitted the 990-N (e-Postcard) every year. This year, we decided to move to the next level by filing the 990-EZ. We filed Form 8868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File and was approved, but because of budgetary constraints, we were unable to hire a professional to complete the form for us, therefore, we attended webinars and researched several other resources to teach ourselves how to complete the form and schedules, as well as gain a better understanding of the 990-EZ instructions and how they apply to our organization. Going forward, we will use our 2023 990-EZ form as a template to file future returns.</ExplanationTxt>
