What Madison Rotary Club Foundation Inc does
Mission
The Foundation raises funds for three charitable activities - fighting food insecurity, supporting educational programs and funding community organizations. Program services also include weekly meetings for members and the public, and periodic community events to advance and fund our mission and charitable activities.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program and a significant change in how it conducts a program.
The Foundation began funding a multi-year social and emotional learning program within the Madison public schools using money from a $53,000 restricted donation received in fiscal 2024-25. The first year's portion of $13,560 provided 90 teachers with training on safe and inclusive morning meetings that they then deployed in their classrooms involving more than 1,000 elementary students.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Prior to 2025-26, the Foundation historically managed the financial books and records for the Taste of Madison, a community joint venture that annually celebrates local restaurants and food vendors. While the Foundation remains a joint venture partner, responsibility for managing the TOM financials was transferred to another partner in 2025-26 along with $8,103 of cash being held for TOM.

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 2024 to 2025, from $68k to $134k (+97%).
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.
36% of MADISON ROTARY CLUB FOUNDATION INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 10 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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
2020 → 2023: the base narrowed from 3 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $28k → $300.
1 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 29% 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 ROTARY CLUB FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 65% 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
94% 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 ROTARY CLUB FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 95% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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
92% of MADISON ROTARY CLUB FOUNDATION INC's grant income comes from New Jersey funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $12k 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.
