The listed appropriations included grants of $50,000 and $23,600 if two, each designated for programs or services funded by the State of Illinois.
These appropriations represent state-level funding authorized by lawmakers, reflecting what was approved in the budget, not necessarily disbursed. The funds cover only State of Illinois support and exclude federal, local, or other public sources.
Founded in 1972, Orchard Village states that its mission is: “To optimize personal outcomes for individuals with developmental disabilities through a community-integrated approach.”

In its most recent IRS Form 990 filing filing for tax year 2024, the organization reported $10,749,600 in total revenue.
The nonprofit listed $537,517 in contributions overall. It also reported $537,517 categorized under other contributions, which may include restricted donations, pledges, or bequests.
At the beginning of 2024, Orchard Village had $10,913,400 in assets. By the end of 2024, that figure had changed to $13,554,700, indicating a 24.2% growth in overall holdings.
However, a Chicago City Wire analysis found that IRS filings frequently contain discrepancies when compared with publicly disclosed government grant reports and budgets.
Orchard Village is one of hundreds of nonprofits across Illinois that receive substantial support from state taxpayers while also fundraising privately.
In 2025, Illinois lawmakers introduced House Bill 1266, also known as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Act. The proposal would create a new oversight body within the Office of the Auditor General tasked with identifying cost-saving measures, reviewing agency performance, and advising on audit priorities. If passed, DOGE could bring additional scrutiny and performance evaluation to taxpayer-funded organizations.
According to ProPublica, Illinois has more than 78,000 active tax-exempt organizations, including nearly 60,000 classified as charitable nonprofits. In their most recent IRS filings, these groups reported a combined revenue exceeding $156 billion.
