WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND FILING YOUR REPORT FORMS VIA EMAIL
Each year, Audubon Chapters renew their Chapter charters through a re-certification process as described in the Audubon Chapter Policy, by providing an Annual Report. The Annual Report is a very important document. It helps us learn how Chapters are doing, tells us about changes in Chapter leadership, and allows Audubon to demonstrate that funds spent by Chapters are used in accordance with guidelines for non-profits set by the IRS. The Chapter Policy clarifies that filing the Annual Report is the key to re-certification of the Chapter.
Because the questionnaire that highlights Chapter’s activities has been expanded, an additional detailed summary of the last year’s activities is requested as an optional addition. We encourage you to let us know of your successes, and will compile all information provided to share with all parts of Audubon.
In total, you are asked to please return:
- Annual Report including Chapter Questionnaire
- Financial Report
- Chapter Leader Report Form
- Plan for the coming year
- (Optional) Additional detailed summary of the last year’s activities
Please return the Annual Report materials by August 15, 2008. To report, you may:
- Download the attached forms for your state, complete, and mail, email or fax them to the Chapter Services Office or your State Office (please see address list below), or
- Use your own format, as long as it includes the same information, and send it via mail, e-mail or fax to the Chapter Services Office or your State Office (please see address list below).
Your Chapter may need additional time to complete the financial report or the annual plan. If that is the case, please send the Annual Report form including questionnaire, and the Chapter Leader Report Form by the stated deadline, and the additional documents later.
An annual baseline payment will be sent in September to all Chapters who have filed at least the basic Annual Report and Chapter Leader Report Forms by August 15, 2008, or have received approval from their state office or Chapter Services to file at a later date. Chapters that do not contact their State Office by the deadline will have their baseline payments temporarily held until the forms are received, with a final deadline of December 31, 2008 to be eligible for payment.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Chapter Services Office, if you have any questions about this report. Thank you in advance for sharing the exciting results of your past year’s work and your Chapter’s plans for the coming year.
