While it might be true that nonprofit organizations are not legally required to publish their annual financial reports, we at the Lau Foundation understand the added value annual reports can give to donors. Our financial report will show our achievements and effectiveness in handling the revenues and expenses of the organization over a fiscal period. It can allow us to align our financial dealings with other creditable nonprofits. Despite this, we must file the most important financial report, which uses IRS Form 990 to provide the Internal Revenue Service with information about our activities, including revenues and expenses.
