What Rosenwald Park Campaign does
Mission
The Rosenwald Park Campaign seeks to establish the julius rosenwald & rosenwald schools national historical park, a multi-site national park celebrating the life and legacy of the astute businessman and innovative philanthropist julius rosenwald, who partnered with african american communities across the south to build over 5,000 schoolhouse facilities for children who otherwise would have had extremely limited access to the public education to which they were entitled. Once the park is established the campaign will become the friends group for it.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On june 13, 2024 the department of interior (doi) submitted to congress, the special resource study of the sites associated with julius rosenwald and the rosenwald schools that was mandated by congressional legislation signed into law by president trump on january 13, 2021. The study concluded that julius rosenwald and the rosenwald schools are of national historic significance and that the san domingo school in sharpton, md, is a good candidate to be a national historic site.

Legislation that included the san domingo school, a site to be determined in chicago for a visitor center and a network of rosenwald schools associated with the park was introduced on september 19, 2024, by senator richard durbin in the senate and by representative danny davis in the house.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2023 to 2024, from $365k to $605k (+66%).
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.
93% of ROSENWALD PARK CAMPAIGN’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (64% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $7k → $37k.
2 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 41% 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
ROSENWALD PARK CAMPAIGN has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
41% 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 ROSENWALD PARK CAMPAIGN.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 71% · 2021 46% · 2022 50% · 2023 69% — 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
22% of ROSENWALD PARK CAMPAIGN's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 38% 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
ROSENWALD PARK CAMPAIGN draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside Maryland, across 6 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $83k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
