Admittedly, I don't know much about organisations the foundation's
size, but large companies (that give public reports, hence me knowing
about them) often take months to get their end of year reports out.
Just take a look at the date on the SEC filings (or equiv) and compare
to the date of the end of the year. There is a big gap. (If memory
serves, the SEC allows 90 days to file at the end of the year, but I
wouldn't swear by it.)
