Form 990-EZ, Page 1, Line A Originally, the organization elected a calendar year-end, which made the tax year ending December 31, 2024 due by May 15, 2025. However, the Board of Directors subsequently decided to change the accounting period to a fiscal year ending April 30, in order to better align financial reporting with board member service terms, which conclude each year on April 30. This change ensures that each board fulfills its fiduciary duties through the close of its term. As part of this transition, the organization filed a short-year return covering March 23, 2024 through April 30, 2024. The current filing is a full-year return for the new fiscal year, covering May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025. While this results in two returns being filed in 2024, it reflects the one-time adjustment required to formally establish the new fiscal year-end.
