About

THE FOUNDATION WAS PREVIOUSLY REPORTING ON A FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30TH AND HAS TIMELY FILED ALL RETURNS IN THE PAST BASED ON THAT FISCAL YEAR-END. MORE RECENTLY, AND PURSUANT TO THE FILING OF FORM 1128, THE FISCAL YEAR-END WAS CHANGED TO DECEMBER 31ST. THE SERVICE'S NOTICE OF APPROVAL FOR THE FISCAL YEAR CHANGE WAS DATED JULY 31, 2023 (A COPY ATTACHED FOR YOUR REVIEW). WITHOUT THE NOTICE OF APPROVAL, THE FOUNDATION WAS UNABLE TO FILE AN EXTENSION OF THE SHORT PERIOD RETURN BY THE MAY 15, 2023, DEADLINE. THE FOUNDATION IS REQUESTING THAT PENALTIES FOR LATE FILING NOT BE ASSESSED DUE TO THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES ABOVE, AS THE RETURN IS BEING FILED BEFORE THE EXTENDED DUE DATE OF NOVEMBER 15, 2023.
