Attention All Non-Profits: IRS Form Due Oct 15th!
In 2006, Congress passed the Pension Protection Act. This law mandated that all tax-exempt organizations, except churches and church-related groups, file annual information returns with the IRS beginning in 2007. This was a new requirement for many small organizations. The consequences for failure to file are dire-any organization that does not file an information return for three consecutive years automatically loses its tax exemption.
Despite the Service's outreach efforts to date, many small organizations still appear to be unaware of the tax law change as they haven't filed. Small tax-exempt organizations do great work in their communities. The IRS believes it's important to give these organizations an opportunity to preserve their valuable tax exemption and is offering a one-time relief program to bring these small organizations back into compliance.
The smallest organizations, eligible to file a 990-N, can go to the IRS Web site and electronically file the ePostcard. It asks for only eight information items. Small tax-exempt organizations eligible to file Form 990-N (e-Postcard) or Form 990-EZ have until October 15, 2010 to file.
Larger organizations should file their delinquent returns for the 3 years (2007, 2008 and 2009) and pay the compliance fee by October 15, 2010.
Thank you, in advance, for sharing this important information with your widest audience possible. As you know, the public at large may have connections with exempt organizations through volunteer work contributions or social contacts, thus, could help to spread this vital message to others, such as, Board members, officers, staff and volunteers who may be responsible for their organization's application for tax exemption, and may not be familiar with the process.

Note from Rep. Shimabukuro: Mahalo nui loa to Art Frank, Wai Paaoao, and Barbie-Lei Burgess for sharing this information. Please note that apparently all non-profits must file these forms, even if they had no income in the preceding year.

Free Food Vouchers for People over 60 to use at the Waianae Farmers Market
UPDATE: From Desiree Hikuroa
Over 100 seniors showed up at the Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center (WCCHC) on Thursday, August 19 to register for the Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP).
The SFMNP is a program that offers $50 worth of vouchers to low-income seniors (over the age of 60 or over the age of 55 if deemed handicapped) that can be redeemed for eligible foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, honey and cut herbs. These vouchers can be used at participating farmers’ markets around the island, including the Waianae Farmers’ Market.
“The program is designed to provide fresh and nutritious locally grown produce to low-income seniors and support local farmers, farmers’ markets, and community supported agriculture programs,” said Roxanne Stark, Director of Agency Affiliations for the Hawaii Foodbank.
The Hawaii Foodbank is working with the State of Hawaii and USDA to certify nearly 5000 seniors. There are only 2000 vouchers left until the program ends in October. Distributing the remaining vouchers will increase the possibility of bringing this program back next year.
The Hawaii Foodbank urges seniors who are at or below 185% of the federal poverty guideline to register for the program. The organization has several sites around the island scheduled to register new participants.
“The program is such a great benefit to seniors and there is still interest in the program for those who were unable to make it,” said Desiree Hikuroa, Director of Communications at WCCHC.
If you, or anyone you know, is interested in participating in the program, please visit the Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center in September or call 954-7889 or visit www.hawaiifoodbank.org to download an application.

Renovation Materials at 50% below retail
Baseyard Hawaii, located at Sand Island, is part of the Nanakuli Housing Corporation.
Baseyard Hawaii collects and distributes reusable, surplus construction materials to families, schools and nonprofit organizations at little or no cost. Excess materials are made available to the public at a discount and proceeds used to fund NHC’s programs. Donors are able to save the cost of disposing of reusable materials to our overextended landfills. Since its inception, over 1200 tons of materials have been saved from the landfill. In 2008, NHC was awarded EPA recognition for its recycling work.
Come to Baseyard Hawaii on Saturday, September 18, 2010!
Get materials for that renovation cheap! Cabinets, doors, light fixtures, hardware, etc. at least 50% below retail.
Directions to Baseyard Sand Island
* Turn on Sand Island Access Road.
* Pass the old Kilgos, Malolo and First Hawaiian Bank on the right.
* Go through the first intersection (Auiki St.) and make the next right turn after the McKesson Building (large cement building at the Auiki St. intersection). You will see our Nanakuli Housing Corporation sign and a La Mariana Resturant sign.
* Follow the road. You will pass the La Mariana Resturant and then the road bends and you will then be on the back side of Ameron Cement. You will notice a fork in the road. Take the left side of the fork and you will see Honolulu Recovery Systems ahead. Pass them and we are on the right side of the road next to all the large cement blocks.
