Accountability & Openness
Financial Transparency
The Ashland Parks Foundation is committed to openness and accountability to the community we serve. As part of that commitment, we make our IRS Form 990 — our annual nonprofit information return — publicly available below. The Form 990 provides a comprehensive look at our finances, programs, and governance, including revenue, expenses, and how donated funds support our parks and green spaces. We believe this transparency helps build the trust that makes our work possible.
Form 990s are also available through the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search at apps.irs.gov. Questions? Contact us at info@ashlandparksfoundation.org.
