During the filing period for the 2025 Form 990-EZ, the volunteer CFO, who is the officer primarily responsible for the organization's financial records and annual compliance filing, was on parental leave. Because the organization relies on volunteers and was unable to secure a qualified replacement volunteer with sufficient familiarity with the records and authority to complete the filing before the due date of May 15, 2026, the return was filed late. Once the organization was able to regain the necessary internal capacity to review and finalize the filing, it submitted the return as promptly as possible. The organization is implementing measures to prevent recurrence, including earlier preparation of future filings and identifying backup volunteer coverage for key compliance responsibilities.
