What they do
ROCKFISH RIVER TRAILS, CHILDRENS NATURE TRAIL and SPRUCE CREEK PARK OPERATIONS, MAINTENANCE and VISITATION. All Facilities Were Open. Grounds Maintenance and Repairs Became A Major Focus. Hurricane Helene Occurred In Sept 2024. Flooding From It Did A Lot of Washout Along Trails, Parking and Entrances Along With Some Erosion. Several Heavy Storms With Flooding Caused More Damage During The Year. Weather is Getting More Impactful. Volunteer Work Days With Master Naturalists and RVF Volunteers Took Off. The Wonderful Educational Learning Pavilion Was Designed and Constructed With Contractors and Volunteers. There Was Focus On The Need to Increase Maintenance Budget, Create Reserves and Enhance Our Contact Numbers and Information for Volunteers, Donors and Visitors. The Capacity Needs Became More Evident. As A Result, The 2024 Budget Goal Was Increased to $100,000 and for 2025 It Was to Be $130,000. RVF Facilities and Operations Have Grown Significantly Since Just Before COVID. The Budget

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Expenses were greater than revenue, so the colored ring fills the available $100 and the total above 100% is shown below.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
