Biweekly collections of food and paper products donated by residents, totaling approximately 10,000 pounds for the year; periodic packaging or preparation of meals for donation to local organizations; community garden to grow vegetables for donation, totaling about 250 pounds for the year.

Weekly meetings, programs, and service activities, most of which are open to the public. Expenses include Rotary International and District 7475 dues (i.e., payments to affiliates)

Community events to build awareness of our tax-exempt status and charitable purpose and to fund the program services described in Part III, lines 4a-c. Events include: (i) annual Taste of Madison which showcases local restaurants (revenue: $40,249/direct expenses: $28,079), (ii) annual sale of Christmas trees and wreathes ($53,878/$30,497), (iii) participation in various community-building events ($6,452/$4,213), and (iv) a multi-year project to plant 100 trees throughout Madison, commemorating our 100 years of community service ($0/$12,707).

Pass-through activities: One of our members held a senior position within Rotary International and asked that we handle registrations for two of her Rotary events. The revenue collected for these events was "passed through" (i.e.,disbursed) to a part of Rotary International and used to cover the events' costs. There was no net financial impact on Madison Rotary.
