Have you completed your annual filings for 2025?!?!

Filing due date Form 990-N is due every year by the 15th day of the 5th month after the close of your tax year. You cannot file the e-Postcard until after your tax year ends. Example: If your tax year ended on December 31, the e-Postcard is due May 15 of the following year. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, the due date is the next business day. If your revenue is under $50,000 you may fill out the e-Postcard Submitting Form 990-N (e-Postcard) To access the Form 990-N Electronic Filing system: Sign in/create an account with Login.gov or ID.me: The IRS requires a Login.gov or an ID.me account to submit Form 900-N. Form 990-N filers should use the same email address associated with their IRS account. Review the IRS Form 990-N Electronic Filing System (e-Postcard) User Guide PDF for step-by-step instructions on how to submit electronic Form 990-N (e-Postcard). Most common problems can be avoided by following the User Guide. https://sa.www4.irs.gov/epostcard/ You do NOT need an accountant if your revenue is under $50,000. How else do you know if you should file the e-Postcard/990N? It's on your determination letter when your organization was determined that it was an exempt entity. I copied and pasted everything from here, https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/annual-electronic-filing-requirement-for-small-exempt-organizations-form-990-n-e-postcard Remember, after 3 years of not filing, your organization's exempt status will be revoked. They have been doing this for over a decade and it is stated within your determination letter.

Check Your Beliefs at the Door

Happy Sunday! I have created a survey that I think may be helpful in your journey as a nonprofit leader. It's kinda like checking your thermostat to see what level of "belief" do you have. This one is all about the community but you may want to apply a little bit to your own personal life. I really hope it helps someone.💓 Please feel free to let me know what you thought after taking the survey.💭 Disclaimer: I did get confused on Disagree and Agree but I won't record again so please give me a little grace and read the document for yourself.😁 *Download and save the document because you can fill it out while you go through the video.

Grants

It may seem like there is no funding

I came across a story this week that reminded me why nonprofit leaders should never underestimate the impact of a smaller grant. Skillpoint Alliance, a nonprofit that provides workforce training for underserved individuals, recently received a $20,000 grant from the O’Reilly Automotive Foundation. The funding will help expand its HVAC and plumbing training programs in the Permian Basin. Now, some people might look at $20,000 and think it is not enough to make a difference. But here’s what caught my attention. The organization already had a proven program. They were helping people gain skills, complete training, find jobs, and increase their income. The grant was not funding an idea. It was helping expand something that was already working. That is a lesson for every nonprofit leader. Many funders are not looking for perfection. They are looking for evidence that your organization can take resources and create measurable outcomes. Sometimes the next grant comes after you’ve demonstrated success with the first one. So here’s my question for you: What is one program or service your organization already does well that could serve more people if you had an additional $20,000? Drop it in the comments. I’d love to hear what you’re building. *Please remember “give-aways” are not usually covered by grants…it’s about programs and services.
