Thank you for your past support and for caring about the civic health of our community. The Madison Civics Club has a long and rich history of inviting renowned speakers to talk about important issues of the day and encouraging civic engagement, especially among young people. This would not have been possible without our members, friends, and supporters.
Unfortunately, the Madison Civics Club has seen a significant decline in membership over the past decade, a lack of volunteers to take on leadership roles, and the pandemic has also taken its toll.
Based on this, the Madison Civics Club Board of Directors has decided to explore alternative approaches in the event that the organization is dissolved. We are fortunate to have significant financial resources that we can direct toward uses that will continue to support the mission of the Madison Civics Club well into the future.

Founded in 1912 by five women incensed that Wisconsin denied women the vote, Madison Civics Club has brought thought-provoking international, national, and local speakers to Madison. See our centennial history.
Since our centennial, venue and speaker fees increased, and the pandemic required virtual meetings. Madison Civics Club adapted. See our recent programs and speakers.
In 2004, Madison Civics Club expanded its mission, financially supporting youth civic engagement. The club gained 501(c)(3) status, providing grants to youth-led organizations with a civic purpose. See our awardees.
