THE MADISON CLUB CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
The Madison Club Charitable Foundation is a not-for-profit entity established in 2005 that aims to help the Madison community. The foundation focuses on helping local charities raise money and further their cause through social activities, programs, and events held at the Madison Club.
The Madison Club Charitable Foundation hosted its signature event, a formal Charity Gala, for the last 15 years. The event was designed to recognize and promote a new local charity each year. The Madison Club Foundation raised over $1.3 million over the past fifteen years.
FUTURE OF THE FOUNDATION
After a successful 15 years hosting the annual Charity Gala, the Foundation is excited to continue to offer service to our Madison community in new and innovative ways - where it is most needed. The Charitable Foundation’s board of directors is continually looking to the future and the role the Foundation will play in Madison.
