To Whom It May Concern Please accept our request for an abatement of any fees incurred due to the lateness of our submission of this 990. We are a small non-profit with only two full time employees. Since the beginning of the year both employees suffered medical and family emergencies while still leading the organization through several changes including the addition of a major fundraising program and the procurement of and moving into new premises. One of the agency's two primary full-time employees underwent major surgery and the other experienced the loss of two foster children that resulted in each taking a combined time of over 2 months away from work. Pride Center West Texas also opened an entirely new Charitable Bingo Department that has and will continue to become a consistent and growing source of revenue for the agency; this additional revenue will be used to hire bookkeeping/accounting support within the year to keep us from ever filing a late return in the future. Within the last year the agency also experienced an emergency move from a location no longer deemed safe and moved into a brand new location in April of 2024. We strive to meet all possible deadlines and conduct our business in the most professional manner possible at all times and therefore deeply regret missing the deadline for this form. Any consideration that you would be willing to give regarding the abatement of the late penalty would be most appreciated.
