What Madison House does
Mission
Madison House serves as the volunteer center for University of Virginia students. We coordinate volunteers, develop leaders, build community partnerships, and promote lifelong volunteer service.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
STUDENT VOLUNTEER COORDINATION Madison House inspires and coordinates volunteer service to support community priorities while enhancing students' education through leadership development and hands-onservice. In a typical year, 1,500-2,000 students volunteer weekly through Madison House programs, dedicating their time and energy to support local organizations and residents. Volunteer programs span four different tracks, including Animals & Environment, Education & Youth, Health & Medical Services, and Human Services. Approximately two thirds of our volunteers serve in hospitals and clinics, schools, and with our IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program to provide critical resources and services to the community. Across all Madison House initiatives, student volunteers contribute around 50,000 hours of service annually, gaining valuable experience and fostering a lifelong commitment to civic engagement.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $709,567.
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 2020 to 2021, from $2.1M to $3.0M (+42%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 0% · 2021 24% · 2023 10% · 2024 11% · 2025 16%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
89% of Madison House’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 7 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 15 funders, grant income rose $40k → $105k.
7 of 31 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 40% 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 Madison House’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 31 funders by total. 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
Madison House has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 20% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
48% 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 House.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 38% · 2018 21% · 2019 34% · 2020 56% · 2021 27% · 2022 32% · 2023 24% — diversifying over time.
“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.
How long its funders stay
41% of Madison House's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
67% of Madison House's grant income comes from Virginia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $313k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
