What we could not leave blank
Support of $48,378 fell below the $50,000 threshold, so the IRS only required the short Form 990-N e-Postcard, which reports no financial detail at all. We did not want a blank year on our record, so we reconciled every 2024 bank statement and prepared full cash-basis statements instead. Total spent: $42,261.
What the program spending paid for
The remaining $3,322 of the year's spending — 7.9% — covered technology and website costs, bank and wire transfer fees, and our annual IRS filing fee.
