Notes

¹The IRS requires that non-profit organizations disclose their top donors on Schedule B of IRS Form 990 each year. Some state departments of charitable solicitations require Schedule B when we register to solicit funds within their state. Whenever Schedule B is not required by law, Wears Valley Ranch redacts it from the Form 990 to protect our donors’ privacy.
