Melissa Weiss from Safe Schools NC contacted me about a video they are producing. She was trying to get students from our area to participate. Gary sent out emails, identified willing students and arranged a film date. The film date had to be cancelled due to the filming person having a change in schedule. They are supposed to reschedule.
Students at Grimsley and Northwest High School have approached their principals about possible training sessions. Annette Green has been working on arranging the sessions. Treasurer’s Report Feb 2006

7. What is the difference between Form 990, Form 990-EZ, and Form 990-PF?
• Form 990-PF is the form that all 501(c)(3) private foundations and 4947(a)(1) non-exempt charitable trusts must file; only those types of exempt organizations use Form 990-PF.
• Form 990-EZ is the "short form" for other 990 filers; exempt nonprofits with incomes of less than $100,000 and total assets of less than $250,000 may file Form 990-EZ, although they are allowed to file Form 990 if they prefer.
• Form 990 is the "long form" that other 990 filers with incomes of more than $100,000 or assets above $250,000 must file.
8. What is the deadline for filing a 990?
There is no one date on which all Forms 990 must be submitted to the IRS. Instead, a nonprofit's filing date is determined by the end of its fiscal year (the 12-month period for which the organization plans the use of its funds); each filing organization is required to file "by the 15th day of the 5th month after" its fiscal year ends. Organizations can also receive up to two 90-day extensions of time to file. (Like the 990, the extension request form is a public document and is posted on the GuideStar site.) Thus, the Form 990 for a nonprofit whose fiscal year ended on December 31, 2004, might not be filed until November 15, 2005:
