What The Cherry River Foundation Inc does
Mission
The cherry river foundation is a nonprofit corporation organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes, specifically to be a vehicle for people of all means to make a lasting difference in their community. The central purpose of the foundation is to serve the needs and phlanthropic aims of donors who wish to better their community, now and in the future.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The foundation will provide grant funds to organizations that serve the greater richwood area as well as scholarships to students of richwood high school. A grant application will be utilized to award grant funds. This will involve understanding the project, the need for the project, and budget/impact on the community. Scholarships will be based on the criteria set up by each donor for their scholarship. Common factors are gpa, act/sat scores, extracurricular activities, community service, work experience and recommendation.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $1.1M to $1.5M (+31%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
81% of THE CHERRY RIVER FOUNDATION INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (87% for the typical peer).
