The rotary academy is a leadership program for at risk youth in the rockford public school district #205. It involves middle school students receiving various leadership and teamwork training, such as participation in a high ropes course offered by the local ymca, critical thinking training, etiquette training and related educational activities usually involving a group service project by those participating at each of the district's middle schools. This represents a very substantial ongoing activity for the benefit of the general public in efforts to improve the performance and outcome of the students in the rockford public school district.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $1.2M to $1.2M (−4%).
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.
14% of ROCKFORD ROTARY CHARITABLE ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (77% for the typical peer).
