Activities or mission (Part I)

TO ENGAGE THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTORS IN ACTIONS FOCUSED ONATTRACTING AND SUPPORTING BUSINESS GROWTH THAT BENEFITS THE RESIDENTS AND COMMUNITIES OF DODGE AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES.

DURING 2025, THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUED TO ADVANCE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES THROUGHOUT JEFFERSON COUNTY BY SUPPORTING THE GROWTH OF THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE MANUFACTURING SECTOR, COMPLETING THE FULL BUILD-OUT OF THE FOOD & BEVERAGE INNOVATION CAMPUS, AND FACILITATING SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT FROM BOTH INTERNATIONAL AND ESTABLISHED LOCAL EMPLOYERS. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO APPROVED ITS FIRST PROJECT THROUGH THE LIVE LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FUND, SUPPORTED NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS ACROSS THE COUNTY, AND ENHANCED INFRASTRUCTURE READINESS TO ACCOMMODATE FUTURE GROWTH. THESE EFFORTS INCREASED STATEWIDE AND REGIONAL RECOGNITION OF JEFFERSON COUNTY'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WORK WHILE REINFORCING THE CRITICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN HOUSING, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, TAX BASE EXPANSION, AND THE LONG-TERM VITALITY OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 1 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2025, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
