What Mad Park does
Mission
Mad Park community is a grassroots movement rooted in charleston, south carolina, dedicated to breaking down health barriers for families and youth. We believe that wellness is a birthright, not a privilege, and our work is centered around making fitness, nutrition, and emotional well-being accessible to all. Through engaging programs, hands-on education, and real-world solutions, we empower families to take ownership of their health and build a foundation of wellness that extends for generations. Our goal is to create sustainable pathways to better health, ensuring that every child, parent, and educator has the tools they need to thrive. "we are not just an organization--we are a movement led by communities, for communities. We believe that true change happens when families, educators, and youth are given the tools to make wellness a generational way of life."

Programs
Live well - nutrition and culinary wellnesslive well is Mad Park community's nutrition and culinary wellness program serving scholars in grades k through 8. Our program is designed to build food literacy, healthy habit formation, and culinary confidence through hands-on, culturally relevant experiences that are honest, andaccessible. Sessions are delivered by Mad Park instructors in 45 to 50 minute blocks across school and community settings.most of the scholars we serve have never had a real conversation about food, where it comes from, what it does to their body, or why it matters. Live well changes that. We get in the kitchen with kids. We talk about real food in real language. We connect what they eat to how they feel,how they focus, and how they move through the world. In 2025, Mad Park delivered 46 nutrition and culinary wellness sessions across school and community settings reaching 330 scholars across grades k through 8. The habits scholars build in live well are ones they can carry home, share with their families, and grow with for life.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 91% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of MAD PARK’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
MAD PARK leans on a few funders — its largest provides 91% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
91% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund MAD PARK.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
91% of MAD PARK's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $1k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from South Carolina funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $15k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
