Baldwin Wallace University: $147.0M Revenue, $163.2M Expenses

Baldwin Wallace University earns a C on the efficiency rubric — the median bucket on the NonprofitTruth scale, indicating performance close to the national midpoint across financial reserves, officer compensation, and revenue consistency. Composite score: 59/100.

Baldwin Wallace University is a large nonprofit by U.S. standards: $147.0M in 2023 revenue against $163.2M in expenses. Organizations in this revenue bracket usually run multiple programs with permanent staff and a meaningful endowment or reserve. Reserves are the limiting factor: Baldwin Wallace University carries relatively few months of operating expenses on its balance sheet, which can leave an organization exposed if a major funding source pauses.

Revenue has been roughly stable over the five-year filing window. The pattern is normal for established organizations operating in a mature program area. Officer compensation is modest relative to organizational size: Baldwin Wallace University reports $1.9M in total compensation for current officers and key employees (Form 990 Part IX, line 5) against $147.0M in revenue. The ratio is well within the bands third-party charity raters consider reasonable at this scale. In the Education category, Baldwin Wallace 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.
