Programs
During the fiscal year ended june 30, 2025, vra accomplished its exempt purpose by continuing to provide a place for the university of virginia men's crew to row, provided the coaching staff to instruct and guide the crew team, and provided the necessary boats and equipment to enable the crew to compete at the highest intercollegiate level with other colleges and universities throughout the united states. During the last year, approximately 65 undergraduates participated in the men's crew program. In july the coaching staff conducted a summer camp for 58 high school students.
$457,735 spent$196,634 earned by the program91% of program spendingIn addition, vra provided space for the virginia women's varsity crew to store their boats, for indoor training, and to launch their boats on the rivanna reservoir. Without access to the reservoir, the university of virginia women's crew program would not have been able to compete as a varsity intercollegiate sport. The women's team were the 2010 and 2012 ncaa national champions. In the past year, approximately 72 undergraduate women participated in the university of virginia women's crew program. The women's crew program provided scholarships to numerous athletes, and had a coaching staff of five coaches. Both the men's and women's programs utilized the launches and the dock facilities provided by vra.

During the last year, approximately 100 people from the community participated in these high school and local rowing programs. Some of those individuals provided financial assistance and in-kind support to vra by assisting at regattas, housing visiting rowers, maintaining the grounds of the vra property, and serving as officers and directors of vra.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 $3.4M to $3.9M (+16%).
