FORM 990 TO WHO IT MAY CONCERN: DEAR SIR/MADAM, I WOULD LIKE TO BEG YOUR PARTON FOR THE LATE FILING OF CAUSA'S 2023 TAX RETURNS. THE REASON FOR LATE FILING WAS BECAUSE AS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT RELIES MOST ON DONATION, WE WERE EXTREMELY SHORT OF HANDS AFTER THE PANDEMIC. THE REASONS FOR NOT PROMPTLY FILIING ARE AS BELOW FOR YOUR KIND CONSIDERATION: 1. WE SUFFERED SHUTDOWN DUE TO AN EMPLOYEE CONFLICT ISSUE, SHE WAS ACTING HOSTILE SO WE HAD TO TEMPORARILY CLOSE OUR RANCH TO ADDRESS THE SECURITY RISK FOR THE SAFTY OF OUR EMPLOYEES AND VOLUNTEERS. 2. I HAD BEEN LIVING IN TAIWAN. I LEFT US IN JANUARY 2021, RESIDED IN TAIWAN, AND ONLY CAME BACK RECENTLY AT THE END OF OCTOBER, 2023. DUE TO THE RESTRICTIVE POLICIES IN TAIWAN AND VISA CONCERNS, I HAD TO STAY IN TAIWAN MOST OF THE TIME. 3. DUE TO THE EXTREME LACK OF HANDS, I AS THE CFO OF THE COMPANY, AND A VOLUNTEER, HAD TO TAKE ON A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITIES SUCH AS DAILY OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT AND FUNDRAISING EVENT WHICH REQUIRED A LOT OF INTERNATIONAL TRAVELING, WHICH MADE IT VERY HARD TO ME TO COMPLETE THE TAX RETURN FILINGS IN TIME. I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR THE DELAY. AS AN ORGNAIZATION, WE HAD MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO DESIGNATE MORE RESOURCES TO HELP AND ENSURE PROMPT FILING OF ALL TAX RETURNS IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE KINDLY CONSIDER THIS AND NOT TO IMPOSE LATE FILING PENALTIES. THE MONEY WE SAVED WILL BE USED IN BUILDING A BETTER FINANCIAL SYSTEM TO SUPPORT PROMPT TAX FILINGS IN THE FUTURE.
