In 2022, the Code Red Program achieved significant milestones and made a substantial impact on our community. These accomplishments demonstrate our commitment to education, advocacy, and support for individuals affected by HIV/AIDS. Below is a summary of our key achievements for the year, which we are proud to report on our Form 990 filing: 1. Hosting Six Successful Code Red Events: In December 2022, the Code Red Program hosted a total of six engaging and informative events. These events provided a platform for open dialogue, education, and support for community members affected by HIV/AIDS. These gatherings were instrumental in fostering a sense of belonging and understanding within our community. 2. Engaging 196 Community Members: Our events in 2022 attracted a diverse and vibrant audience, with a total of 196 community members in attendance. This high level of participation underscores the relevance and importance of the Code Red Program in our community, as well as the effectiveness of our outreach efforts. 3. Treatment and Prevention Workshop with Rave Reviews: One of the highlights of our 2022 accomplishments was the success of our Treatment and Prevention Workshop. This workshop was designed to empower individuals with knowledge about the latest advancements in HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention. The overwhelmingly positive reviews and feedback received from attendees demonstrate the workshop's effectiveness in providing valuable information and support to our community members. 4.

In 2022, the program successfully pivoted to a virtual format in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we detail the remarkable accomplishments of the BETACON program for the Form 990 filing: 1. Virtual Adaptation Amidst Pandemic Challenges: BETACON's most significant achievement in 2022 was its successful adaptation to a virtual format, ensuring the safety and well-being of our members during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2022, our organization demonstrated its commitment to fostering community engagement and empowerment through a series of impactful events under our community program. These events brought together diverse groups of individuals, sparking meaningful conversations, promoting personal growth, and advancing our mission of inclusivity and education. 1. Launching the Year with a Resounding Success: In January, we initiated our community programs with the inaugural event, "Queers Talking in Private" (QTIP), on the topic of credit health. This event exceeded all expectations by drawing a large and enthusiastic crowd of attendees. Participants engaged in open and informative discussions, gaining valuable insights into managing their financial well-being. 2. Pride Month Celebration - Exploring the "Why": In June, during Pride Month, we organized a second QTIP event that challenged participants to explore their personal motivations and values. This event provided a safe space for individuals to reflect on their life choices and aspirations. The event fostered self-discovery, encouraging attendees to align their actions with their authentic selves. 3. Navigating the Complex World of Dating: August saw another successful QTIP event, this time focusing on the complexities of dating in the modern world. This event attracted a diverse audience, including those seeking guidance and support in their dating lives. Attendees engaged in open conversations, sharing experiences and advice, ultimately fostering healthier and more informed approaches to dating. 4. Academic Engagement and Thought Leadership: Our commitment to education and intellectual growth was exemplified in a thought-provoking roundtable discussion held in conjunction with our fraternity's academic leaders. The discussion centered around James Baldwin's "The Fire Next Time." This event facilitated in-depth discourse on the themes and relevance of Baldwin's work in today's society. It showcased our dedication to intellectual inquiry and the pursuit of knowledge. 5. Building Community and Fostering Inclusivity: Throughout the year, our community programs not only provided essential education and support but also served as platforms for building connections and fostering inclusivity. Attendees consistently reported feeling more connected to our organization and the broader community as a result of these events. 6. Commitment to Accessibility: It's worth noting that we took steps to ensure the accessibility of our events, making them available to a wider audience through virtual options and offering accommodations to individuals with disabilities. In summary, our community program accomplishments in 2022 showcased our commitment to education, inclusivity, and personal growth. These events, ranging from financial literacy to self-discovery and intellectual discourse, made a positive impact on our community, bringing individuals together and empowering them with knowledge and a sense of belonging. Our dedication to fostering a stronger, more informed, and connected community remains unwavering as we continue to work towards our mission in the years to come.

Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 Beta Gamma Chi Fraternity maintains a diverse membership structure that encompasses active, inactive, and alumni members. This multi-tiered approach to membership is designed to reflect the different stages of engagement and affiliation that individuals may have with our organization: Active Members: These are individuals who actively participate in the fraternity's activities and programs. Active members play an integral role in the day-to-day operations and leadership of the fraternity. Inactive Members: Inactive members are individuals who were previously active members but have temporarily disengaged from the fraternity, often due to academic or personal reasons. They maintain their status as fraternity members but are not actively involved at the moment. Alumni Members: Alumni members are individuals who have graduated from their educational institutions or have reached their inactive status limit but maintain their lifelong affiliation with Beta Gamma Chi Fraternity. They often provide mentorship, support, and resources to current active members and play a vital role in the fraternity's long-term sustainability and growth. This membership structure allows Beta Gamma Chi Fraternity to foster a sense of continuity and community among its members. It ensures that individuals can remain connected to the fraternity throughout various stages of their lives, from their undergraduate years through their professional careers. By accommodating active, inactive, and alumni members, we promote lifelong engagement and leadership within our organization."
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7a At Beta Gamma Chi, we have established a governance structure that emphasizes active member involvement and engagement in the selection of individuals to serve on our governing body. Our process is designed to ensure that our governing body members are closely connected to the interests and values of our membership. Here's how it works: To be eligible to appoint members to the governing body, an individual must have been an active member for a minimum of two consecutive years. This requirement ensures that appointees have a substantial and sustained connection to the organization. When a vacancy arises on our governing body, whether due to term limits, resignation, or other reasons, active members are notified of the vacancy. Active members who meet the eligibility criteria are invited to serve on a nomination committee to nominate candidates to fill the vacant position. After the nomination period, the active members participate in a selection process, which may include voting or other methods of decision-making. The candidate who receives the most support from the active members is appointed to the governing body to fill the vacancy. This process ensures that those who serve on our governing body are chosen by their peers who have a deep understanding of our organization's mission, values, and needs. By engaging our active members in the selection of governing body members, we aim to promote transparency, accountability, and representation

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 In accordance with our commitment to transparency and compliance with regulatory requirements, Beta Gamma Chi made its governing documents and financial statements readily accessible to both our members and the public during the tax year 2022. Throughout the tax year, Beta Gamma Chi ensured that our governing documents, including our bylaws and other relevant organizational policies, were made available to our active members. These documents serve as a foundational reference for our members, providing insights into our organizational structure, decision-making processes, and governance practices. Our financial statements, including annual reports and related financial disclosures, were also shared with our members to keep them informed about our financial performance and stewardship of resources. In addition to providing access to our members, Beta Gamma Chi extended our commitment to transparency by making our governing documents and financial statements available to the public upon request. Members of the public who sought information about our organization's governance, mission, and financial integrity were able to obtain these documents by contacting our designated point of contact or administrative office. This open-access policy aligns with our values as a tax-exempt organization and underscores our dedication to fulfilling our mission in a responsible and accountable manner.

Explanation:
In 2023, Beta Gamma Chi experienced significant staffing and volunteer changes that had an unforeseen impact on our organizational capacity and resources. These changes diverted the attention and resources of our staff and officers toward immediate concerns related to the sustainability and day-to-day operations of our programs. The key factors contributing to the delay in our Form 990 filing include: Staffing Transition: In recent months, our organization underwent a period of transition in our staff leadership, which resulted in a temporary gap in the continuity of responsibilities. The time and effort required to onboard and train new personnel necessitated a reallocation of resources away from administrative tasks. The staffing and volunteer changes coincided with unforeseen operational challenges that required immediate attention to ensure the continued success and stability of our programs. These pressing issues understandably took precedence in the allocation of resources and time. We firmly believe that these staffing and volunteer changes, combined with the urgent need to address critical operational concerns, constituted reasonable cause for the delay in our Form 990 filing. We have since taken corrective actions to ensure better compliance in the future, including implementing improved internal processes. Beta Gamma Chi remains fully committed to complying with all IRS requirements and maintaining transparency in our financial and operational reporting. We kindly request that, in light of the circumstances outlined above, the IRS consider our late filing for 2022 as being due to reasonable cause and grant the appropriate relief from penalties under Section 6652(c)(1)(A). We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter and are dedicated to ensuring timely and accurate filings in the future.
