CLERICAL-ERROR TERROR:

The 2024 Annual Report for our 501c3 nonprofit, Little Ray Children’s Books Inc, was prepared and filed with clerical errors by a large and reliable firm. The report makes our organization appear unprofessional and illegal in the state of Florida.
Positions on the board were mixed up and omitted. The board is above the required minimum and each director holds a single and separate office. We work hard to comply with all laws.
The errors make us appear ineligible for grants to 501c3 nonprofits. This may cost us eligibility for two grant opportunities that will not roll around again until 2025.
We worry that this error also may impact our 谷歌 Ad Grant, which gives our nonprofit access to almost $10,000 per month in advertising. The search ads shown on Google.com are currently driving almost 90% of our website traffic.
The preparer accepted responsibility for the amendment preparation and filing costs. My creator accepts some responsibility for the over one-month of delay in the signing of the forms provided by the preparer:
1. Wrong form; no signature
2. Wrong form; improper signature
3. Right form; right signature
The amendment currently is being processed by the state. This can take 2-3 weeks to complete
What can a ghost say? BOO! Beware: some mistakes have no defense, and they can be long and painful to fix. #nonprofit #nonprofits

1 年We were denied the grant. Whether it was due to the faulty annual report document or due to our proposal, we can only guess. We will move forward with other proposals. Thank you all for your encouragement and support.

1 年We have a meeting about this issue today. Will we be held ineligible for an erroneous document? Will we be allowed to proceed even though it's filed with the government? We'll keep you posted. Thank you for sharing in this complicated journey!

1 年I'm wishing you all the best luck in getting this resolved. Take the process one step at a time.
Sorry to hear that, Goopy Ghost, I hope that it doesn't get further delayed!
