Transparency and Accountability

At KMWDF, we believe that the people who support our mission deserve to know exactly how their contributions are being used.

We are committed to operating with complete transparency, maintaining the highest standards of financial stewardship, and making our organizational records available to the public.

The documents and resources on this page reflect our ongoing commitment to accountability, not just as a legal obligation, but as a core expression of who we are and how we operate.

Our Reports

  • Financial Reporting

    As a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 85-2994713), KMWDF is required to file an annual Form 990 with the Internal Revenue Service.

    Our annual reports are designed to give donors, partners, and the public a clear and honest picture of how we are living out our mission.

  • Grant Impact

    Since our founding in 2020, KMWDF has distributed nearly $500,000 in tools, equipment, and resources across approximately 250 grants to woodworkers with disabilities across the country.

    Every dollar donated to KMWDF is directed toward fulfilling our mission, and we are committed to maintaining the lean, efficient operations that make that possible.
