| Explanation | PLEASE, OUR BOARD IS ASKING FOR RELIEF FROM ANY PROPOSED PENALTIES FOR THE LATE FILING OF THE EXTENSION. WE ARE A VERY SMALL COMMUNITY FOUNDATION WITH A VOLUNTEER BOARD AND NO PAID STAFF. OUR ONLY INCOME IS FROM DONATIONS FROM INDIVIDUALS. UP UNTIL THIS YEAR, THE OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CHARITABLE LAW SECTION SENT TO US EVERY APRIL A REMINDER THAT OUR ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT WAS NEEDED BY MAY 15. THAT WOULD START THE PROCESS AND WE WOULD IMMEDIATELY APPLY FOR A FEDERAL EXTENSION. HOWEVER, THIS YEAR THE OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE HAS GONE PAPERLESS AND NO REMINDERS WERE MAILED IN APRIL. WHEN IN MAY WE SUDDENLY REALIZED WE HAD NOT FILED FOR A FEDERAL EXTENSION, WE FILED BUT WERE 10 DAYS LATE. THIS IS A CONSEQUENCE OF NOT HAVING PAID STAFF, BUT WE CANNOT AFFORD ONE. IN 12 YEARS WE HAVE NEVER BEEN LATE FILING. WE HAVE SINCE PUT PROCEDURES IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. WE ASK FOR YOUR COMPASSION IN GRANTING US RELIEF FROM ANY PENALTIES. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOU | Explanation |
