We are writing to respectfully request that the IRS abate or waive any late-filing penalty associated with this return. The delay in filing was the result of a transition in our accounting services during this filing period. As a small nonprofit organization, we rely on outside accounting support to prepare our annual filings, and the change in service providers disrupted our normal procedures. This was an isolated, unavoidable circumstance and we have taken steps to ensure our filings are on time going forward. The Bolivian Quaker Education Fund is a small organization operating on a very limited annual budget. We provide scholarships and educational support to students in Bolivia. A late-filing penalty at this time would represent a significant and disproportionate burden relative to our budget, directly reducing the resources available for the students and communities we serve. We respectfully request that the IRS consider these circumstances and grant an exception or abatement of any applicable late-filing penalty for our 2025 Form 990-EZ. Thank you for your consideration of this request and please let us know if you need any further documentation.
