Mission
The mission of The Madison Art and Innovation Center (the center) is to serve as an accessible, equitable and inclusive space for art, culture, innovation and community building. To achieve these ends, the center will engage in the following primary activities: (1) providing free meeting space and supportive resources for nonprofits and community organizations; (2) hosting community education related to healthy living, wellness, and other educational topics; (3) providing free art- and music-focused experiences to the public by offering space for local artists to display work, hosting musical performances and concert series, and providing classroom space for arts education; and (4) community wellness classes and programs.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
First, the center will promote deepening of community connections by offering free meeting space for nonprofits and community organizations such as those supporting senior social activities, art councils, local community foundations, community theater groups, food banks, quilting clubs, book clubs, bible study groups, caregiver support groups, economic development authorities, and similar resources and community-building organizations. The center may also provide supportive resources such as free access to technology, the use of equipment and supplies, and other supports to these nonprofit and community organizations. The center will also host community education events and seminars for the public to help promote the understanding of issues important to society. For example, the center may offer educational programs to the public focused on strategies and resources to improve the mental and physical health of individuals and families, courses on digital literacy for seniors, educational seminars for entrepreneurs, or similar programs.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 $25k to $164k (+556%).
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: 2023 100%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of THE MADISON ART AND INNOVATION CENTER’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 2 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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $20k 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.
