Founded in 1952 by Ed Rudolph the Northbrook Speed Skating Club has been a nationally respected club for many years. In each Winter Olympics since 1952 the US Speedskating team has included at least one skater from Northbrook.The longevity of the club is a testament to the skilled training our skaters get as well as to the welcoming family-style experience the club offers. Our club welcomes skaters of all ages.We offer Short track program for beginners group 3 intermediate group 2 and advanced group 1 skaters.At each level the skaters are working with coaches to setup and achieve specific training goals. Advancement between groups is based on coachs recommendation and upon demonstration of the skills required to move up to the next level. Membership is currently 75 skaters and families.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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

1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 NORTHBROOK SPEED SKATING CLUB’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.
Where its funders are
100% of NORTHBROOK SPEED SKATING CLUB'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $477 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.
