Attention Advisors: Note about Filing the 990!

by

Attention 4-H Volunteers: We have heard that File990.org is sending messages to our volunteers reminding them that it is time to file their 990. The messages look official but this is a for-profit business that charges to assist people in the filing process. Please encourage your volunteers to ignore these messages.
