Due to a software issue with File990 the return was inadvertently submitted on a calendar-year basis instead of reflecting the intended short period. Rise City Dance is submitting this amended Form 990-EZ to correct the reporting period and accurately reflect the intended six-month short tax year. The organization is requesting approval to transition from a calendar-year to a fiscal-year reporting cycle. As a youth-focused organization Rise City Dance structures its programming around the academic calendar with primary activities occurring from August through May. The majority of classes rehearsals and performances take place during this school-year timeframe. Aligning the organizations accounting period with its program cycle will provide a more accurate representation of financial activity by better matching revenues with related program expenses. This change will enhance financial clarity and improve planning reporting and stewardship of resources in support of the organizations mission.
