Programs
Community Policing Advisory Board Project with the Madison Police Department: In October 2022, the City of Madison received a "Community Policing Development Microgrant" from the United States Department of Justice to create Community Policing Advisory Boards (CPABs) in each of MPD's six police districts. In January 2023, MCPF signed a multi-year contract for $133,000 to help implement the citizen Advisory Boards and better coordinate MCPF's support of the MPD's broader community policing mission. Since July 2023, MCPF recruited and retained 30 citizens to serve as "community policing advisors" to MPD command staff in each of MPD's six police districts. The advisors are sub-contractors to MCPF and receive a modest hourly stipend to meet monthly with command staff and district officers to build greater trust and legitimacy between MPD and the community. The Community Policing Advisory Boards help plan, organize and host a wide array of events that bring MPD officers and the community together in a positive, fun, family-oriented atmosphere. Federal funding for this initiative is anticipated to end in 2026. At that time, MPD and MCPF will seek local funding sources to continue the…
$60,327 spent54% of program spendingMCPF-MPD Community Read Program: During the summer of 2025, MCPF with support from MPD held the 7th year of our "Community Read" program in the MPD's West Police District. In May and early June, the MCPF Community Read project coordinator and program tutors (e.g. current teachers) conduct outreach to youth and families in the West Police District's Meadowood neighborhood. Approximately 20 youth were selected for the seven week summer program and paired with a reading specialist (e.g. tutor) who completed a reading assessment and reading improvement plan for the youth based on the assessment. Over seven weeks, youth meet with their tutor for one hour every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. At the end of the program, current and retired MPD officers prepare and serve a pancake breakfast at the Meadowood Community Center and each youth is recognized and celebrated for participating in the program. * Total expenditures for Community Read tutor services and project coordination (1099-NEC; $16,387). * Total Community Read student stipends via VISA gift cards ($3,270) * Community Read program miscellaneous supplies & expenses ($1,044)

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 2018 to 2019, from $76k to $50k (−34%).

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $5k → $16k.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 14% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
Madison Community Policing Foundation Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 52% of grant income and the top three 81%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 Madison Community Policing Foundation Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 62% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states 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.
