Programs
Madison fields project - mhaf continues to develop a rural community and replicable social enterprise on a 400-acre farm, 30 miles north of washington, dc. Madison fields has implemented job development, education therapeutic riding, and employment opportunities for neurotypical populations and adults with autism and other intellectual/developmental disabilities ("I/dd"). Groups such as wounded veterans may use the farm for specialized programs, volunteer in support of I/dd adults, or share in benefitting from existing employment and service programs at madison fields.
$850,328 spent$24,205 earned by the program67% of program spendingHousing - the autism housing network ("ahn") is a mhaf project that brings together developers, parents, adults with autism, and others in the community dedicated to innovation. This online community contains a comprehensive database of housing options and resources including toolkits, research studies, design tips and more. Individuals who are interested in developing new housing options can meet, share ideas, combine their efforts and start building the future. Beginning in 2013, mhaf spearheaded the coalition for community choice ("ccc"), a national collaboration of individuals with disabilities, their families and friends, disability rights advocates, professionals, educators, and housing and services providers to advance the principle that community can be experienced in many residential settings. More than 150 groups across the usa have signed on to support the ccc.community initiatives consist of workshops, assistance identifying partners, and working to help local organizations and individuals' jumpstart housing projects.

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 2022 to 2023, from $8.0M to $9.6M (+20%).
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 4% · 2018 4% · 2019 4% · 2020 9% · 2021 30%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
86% of MADISON HOUSE AUTISM FOUNDATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (83% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
38% 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 AUTISM FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 81% · 2018 57% · 2019 78% · 2020 40% · 2021 51% · 2022 72% · 2023 32% — 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
37% of MADISON HOUSE AUTISM FOUNDATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 42% 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $604k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
