To publicize the manifold advantages of these sports as a means of health, physical, and leadership development and education of university students. To promote interest through competition and the holding of interstate and intercollegiate regattas. To engage in every reasonable endeavor for the advancement and building up of these amateur water sports in accordance with the best traditions of intramural and intercollegiate university sportsmanship. (b) To cooperate with interested schools, colleges and universities in the Greater Cincinnati Metropolitan area, as well as with athletic organizations in the region, to promote and develop a comprehensive Olympic water sports center located in Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio, on property adjacent to the Little Miami River. UCRAF finished its 9th year owning and operating the Rowing Center located at 5001 Kellogg Ave. in Cincinnati. During the year, approximately 50-100 athletes used this facility every day during the rowing season. These athletes spanned every generation including youth (middle & high school), college and adult masters as well as learn-to-row adults. UCRAF continued its policy of welcoming and including all persons to our sport and rowing site regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation or religion. No serious rowing or other safety issues occurred during this time, which continues UCRAF's unblemished safety track record of establishing a rowing environment where coaches and athletes can operate safely. UCRAF continues to host two resident teams which included the University of Cincinnati Rowing Club (open to all students regardless of ability) as well as the Queen City Rowing Club (open to athletes of all ages including middle school, high school, college and adult). UCRAF continued to fund and implement security enhancements at its site to ensure safety of equipment and athletes. These included lighting, fencing and a new gate. In addition UCRAF enjoyed the first full year of a new JetDock ramp designed for access to our "summer docks" located on the bank of the Little Miami River, adjacent to our boat ramp. UCRAF's Board also implemented a new site management process for its rowing site given the departure of long-time volunteer / site manager / founder Rolf Linder. A new site manager was hired as a result, and supervised by UCRAF Board members. Plans were also made and implemented by the UCRAF Board to fund and construct a new boat shelter, which was installed at the end of the year. The UCRAF Board continued its diligent supervision of the affairs of the organization and the rowing site by meeting monthly, raising funds and carefully stewarding our assets and relationships with our members. In this regard we have received donations to support our activities and to support our rowing athletes and coaches. 0 50973 50973 Rolf Linder Director and President 20.00 0 0 0 Nathan Martell Director and Treasurer 20.00 0 0 0 Timothy A Garry Jr Director 10 0 0 0 Kathleen A Nolan Director 10 0 0 0 Paul Gordon Director 10 0 0 0 Matt Bishara Director 10 0 0 0 Kelly Salchow MacArthur Director 10 0 0 0 Sara Sumner Director 10 0 0 0 Andrew Lennard Director 10 0 0 0 Joseph Spahn Director 10 0 0 0 Abby Austin Director 10 0 0 0 Tristan Hite Director 10 0 0 0 X 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ROLF LINDER care of Tim Garry Jr 2242 CAMERON AVE CINCINNATI OH 452123604 8592210339 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 37809 37809 0 0 0 0 37809 37809 37809 1 1 1334 1334 28342 28342 67486 X 12500 49837 36889 37809 137035 0 12500 49837 36889 37809 137035 137035 0 12500 49837 36889 37809 137035 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Other income refers to rents received from resident rowing teams.

We filed a request for extension Form 8868 on 5/15/25. The reasonable cause for the delay in filing was the appointment of a new Treasurer in 2024. This person (Rolf Linder) required additional time to familiarize himself with the accounting software (Aplos), prior Form 990's filed by us, and other financial matters.
