ERIE MARSH CONSERVATION FOUNDATION REQUESTED WILLIAM VAUGHAN COMPANY TO ELECTRONICALLY FILE THE 2022 990-PF. CIRCUMSTANCES LEADING TO LATE FILINGIN 2024, THERE WAS MISCOMMUNICATION BETWEEN WILLIAM VAUGHAN COMPANY (WVC) AND ERIE MARSH CONSERVATION FOUNDATION. WVC WAS INFORMED ERIE MARSH CONSERVATION FOUNDATION WAS "ALL SET" ON THE 2023 990-PF, INTERPRETTED BY WVC AS ERIE MARSH CONSERVATION FOUNDATION WOULD BE HANDLING THE FILING FOR 2023 THEMSELVES. WHEN THE FILING TIME CAME AROUND FOR 2024 990-PF, ERIE MARSH CONSERVATION FOUNDATION REACHED OUT TO WVC REGARDING THE STATUS OF THE 2024 RETURN. WVC LOOKED INTO THE PRIOR CORRESPONDENCE AND LACK OF 2023 990-PF, REALIZING THE MISCOMMUNICATION, AND ARE ELECTRONICALLY FILING THE 2023 990-PF AND THE 2024 990-PF IN 2025. PRIOR TO 2023, THE ORGANIZATION HAS NEVER MISSED A FILING DEADLINE AND HAS ALWAYS COMPLIED WITH IRS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.FINANCIAL IMPACTTHE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION IS SUPPORTED ENTIRELY BY LIMITED DONATIONS AND VOLUNTEER LABOR.IMPOSING A LATE-FILING PENALTY WOULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL HARDSHIP, DIRECTLY REDUCING FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR:ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE FOUNDATION'S PURPOSENECESSARY ACCOUNTING AND COMPLIANCE SERVICES TO MAINTAIN ONGOING IRS COMPLIANCE.REQUEST FOR ABATEMENTBASED ON THE FACTS OUTLINED ABOVE, WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THE IRS ABATE THE LATE-FILING PENALTY UNDER THE REASONABLE CAUSE PROVISIONS OF IRC SECTION 6652. THE LATE FILING WAS NOT DUE TO WILLFUL NEGLECT, BUT RATHER AN ISOLATED OVERSIGHT DESPITE PRUDENT MEASURES AND A HISTORY OF COMPLIANCE. THE ORGANIZATION HAS TAKEN CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TO PREVENT RECURRENCE AND ENSURE FUTURE COMPLIANCE.
