Many nonprofits that
aren't FIRST teams make annual reports on their main projects that year, how well they are doing financially, and whether they hit their "purpose" for existing or not.
FIRST themselves are a nonprofit, can can be to an extent, considered the "pinnacle" of FIRST team nonprofit reports (for clear reasons.) They exist "For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology", with their 4 main programs being FLL Jr., FLL, FTC, and FRC. [1] In addition, one of 1257's sponsors / supporting organizations is also a nonprofit and created an annual report to show
their supporters what they'd done. [2]
If you're looking for just the annual report of an FRC team, they cover much of the same content, addressing what their goals for the season were, how well they did, and their income / expenses, as well as outreach in terms of community support. For most intents and purposes, the business plan of an FRC team is their "annual report." For example, see the attached files. [3&4]
As for what I would personally include would be the following:
- Team Growth over 1/3/5 years.
- Student / Mentor Split (and gender breakdown)
- Effectiveness of team (are you doing well/ aren't you?)
- Financial Statement
- Outreach!
- Reach (number of kids effected by your team positively)
- Opportunities (aka what FIRST kids can do post-grad because of their FIRST experience)
Feel free to DM me any specific questions you have!
