NewBridge Madison, Inc.

Ownership

NewBridge was founded in 2019 from four existing Madison-area nonprofits that had been operating since the 1970s, making it a locally-rooted nonprofit with deep community origins and local governance.

Local Sourcing

As a nonprofit service provider (not a retail store), NewBridge's sourcing patterns are not publicly detailed. Unable to assess local vs. national sourcing for the services and materials they use.

Community Involvement

NewBridge has a budget of $2.8 million, with funding coming from the city of Madison, Dane County, and to a lesser extent Monona, along with the United Way, grants and donations, and its activities and meals take place at more than a dozen sites, including churches, the Madison Senior Center, branch libraries and even the Madison Labor Temple.

Local Workforce

The staff of 39 (plus two part-time bus drivers) includes 16 case managers and three mental health specialists, with positive volunteer feedback noted, though specific wage/tenure data is not publicly available.

Revenue Retention

Funding comes from the city of Madison, Dane County, and to a lesser extent Monona, along with the United Way, grants and donations, meaning virtually all revenue circulates within the local community rather than leaving it.

Local Presence

Strong local signals include explicit Madison references ('MADISON'S LEADING NON-PROFIT', 'Ending Isolation Madison'), specific local phone number (608), Spanish language services for local community, named programs (Black Tie Bingo, Summer Concerts), and focus on single-location service area. Minimal corporate signals present.
