Why Our Annual Report Matters: A Commitment to Radical Transparency
This year’s Ranger Legacy Foundation Annual Report is different by design… it is interactive.
Throughout the report, readers can click links or scan QR codes to access deeper information, short videos, expanded stories, and additional context that brings our work to life. We created this experience intentionally, because transparency should not be static. It should invite exploration, understanding, and engagement.
We are excited to share this format as part of our ongoing commitment to openness, innovation, and stewardship. A special thanks goes out to our amaing volunteers who help make the magic happen and contributed to this report.
What an Annual Report Represents
At its core, an Annual Report is a reflection of responsibility. It documents where we have been, what we have accomplished, and how we have stewarded the resources entrusted to us.
For the Ranger Legacy Foundation, the Annual Report captures:
Progress toward building the Ranger Legacy Center
Program milestones and strategic partnerships
Financial performance and allocation of funds
Governance, leadership involvement, and strategic alignment
Lessons learned and priorities for the year ahead
By combining clear reporting with interactive elements, we aim to make this information not only accessible, but meaningful.
Radical Transparency in Action
Radical transparency is more than a principle for us. It is a practice.
By publishing an interactive Annual Report, we are providing stakeholders the opportunity to go deeper. Readers can explore the “why” behind key decisions, hear directly from leaders and Rangers, and better understand how strategy, funding, and impact align.
This approach reinforces our commitment to:
Fiscal discipline and responsible governance
Clear alignment between mission, strategy, and execution
Respect for every contribution of time, talent, and treasure
Honest communication about progress and challenges alike
Transparency builds trust, and trust sustains legacy.
Reflecting on the Past Year
This year’s report highlights meaningful momentum across the Ranger Legacy Foundation. It reflects a growing and engaged Ranger community, expanding partnerships, and steady progress toward creating a permanent home for Ranger history, education, and leadership development.
It also acknowledges the work still ahead. Preserving more than 80 years of Ranger history while preparing future generations of leaders requires sustained effort, shared responsibility, and long-term vision. We believe clarity and honesty are essential to that work.
An Invitation to Engage
Our Annual Report is not meant to be read once and set aside. It is designed to be explored.
We invite you to click, scan, watch, and learn more about the mission you help advance. Ask questions. Share what resonates. Engage with us as a volunteer, leader, advocate, or supporter.
Together, through transparency, innovation, and shared purpose, we will continue to honor the past and build a future worthy of the Ranger legacy.
