This amount came from two festivals hosted during the year, approximately $1,000 in donations, $1000 in grants from black voters matter, and an additional fundraiser that totaled $2,300. The organization was in its early stages of development and operated on a small scale, with all revenues directed toward supporting its mission and community activities. During the tax year in question, our organization experienced unexpected personal and financial hardships. Our household welcomed a child later in the year, and around the same time, we lost our primary source of income. These events caused significant disruption and strain on our capacity to manage administrative obligations. Additionally, we did not have access to the knowledge, guidance, or professional support necessary to complete the filing on time. As a small nonprofit run primarily by volunteers, we lacked the resources to obtain assistance in the field of nonprofit tax compliance. These circumstances led to the delay in filing our Form 990-EZ. The late filing was not due to willful neglect but rather to these unforeseen challenges. We have since taken steps to better understand our filing requirements and ensure timely compliance in the future.
