Annual Report FAQs

No — nonprofits are not legally required to file annual reports each year, but many do so voluntarily to share impact with stakeholders and constituents, including financial summaries and stories of work completed.
An in-kind contribution is a donation of goods or services rather than cash, but one that carries a recognized monetary value.
Nonprofits often bring in more revenue than expenses, but any excess revenue is typically reinvested into the mission rather than distributed to owners or shareholders.
A fee-for-service refers to payment received from partners (such as land agencies or others) that covers some or all of the costs associated with a specific WRV project or training.
WRV’s budget includes expenses beyond volunteer labor, such as materials (plants, seed, erosion control products, fencing materials), transportation, equipment contracting, leadership development, IT, and insurance — all necessary to support safe, effective restoration work.
Volunteer time is freely given, but engaging volunteers involves staff coordination, project design, logistics, tool and supply provisioning, insurance, and training — all of which require organizational resources.
