Anderson University: $131.2M Revenue, $131.9M Expenses

The efficiency rubric puts Anderson University at a B grade: a composite of 76/100 that lands above the national midpoint. The grade reflects solid financial reserves alongside reasonable officer compensation and steady revenue.

Anderson University is a large nonprofit by U.S. standards: $131.2M in 2023 revenue against $131.9M in expenses. Organizations in this revenue bracket usually run multiple programs with permanent staff and a meaningful endowment or reserve. On the reserves factor, Anderson University scores well — assets relative to annual spending sit in the range nonprofit-finance experts consider healthy (roughly three months to two years of operating expenses).

Five-year revenue trajectory is strongly positive: Anderson University has grown materially in real terms, which usually signals successful fundraising and program expansion. Officer compensation is modest relative to organizational size: Anderson University reports $2.3M in total compensation for current officers and key employees (Form 990 Part IX, line 5) against $131.2M in revenue. The ratio is well within the bands third-party charity raters consider reasonable at this scale. In the Education category, Anderson University sits alongside universities, K-12 systems, scholarship funds, and education-research organizations. Education-sector nonprofits often hold large endowments, which affects how the reserves-and-revenue figures should be read.
