Important information for the voters. As you might already know, Holly’s opponent was the founder and original President of SOBBP. Not only have they not filed properly, they are also campaigning politically (which is illegal for any nonprofit per the IRS). The following is very concerning:
SOBBP 501c3 Revocation Conflict
Save Our Bay Brayton Point (SOBBP) 501c3 status was revoked by the IRS in May 2023 because they never filed their federal tax reports. They are no longer a not for profit charity. In fact they no longer have standing with the IRS.
They have never filed Form PC with the required federal form with the Attorney General. They are required to register with the AG if they solicit funds and represent they are a 501(c)(3) not for profit. They are four years delinquent in paying their fees with the State of Massachusetts.
The last time they filed the Annual Report to the Secretary of The Commonwealth was 2020, which means they also haven’t paid the fees since then either. When they filed their Annual Report in 2020, Allen Smith was still listed as the President and Principal Office. Until they file the Annual Reports, Allen Smith is still the president in the eyes of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. They are three years delinquent in paying their fees to the Secretary of State.
Also, filing a Certificate of Change in Officers, does not satisfy the legal documentation required, the annual reports are required to do that.
