Barnard College: $313.7M Revenue, $313.3M Expenses

The composite efficiency score of 61/100 puts Barnard College at C — neither standout nor failing. Some factors run above the median (often reserves) while others run below (often revenue stability or officer-comp ratio).

Barnard College is a large nonprofit by U.S. standards: $313.7M in 2023 revenue against $313.3M in expenses. Organizations in this revenue bracket usually run multiple programs with permanent staff and a meaningful endowment or reserve. On the financial-health factor, Barnard College runs thin — assets relative to annual spending fall below the cushion nonprofit-finance experts typically recommend.

Five-year revenue trajectory is strongly positive: Barnard College has grown materially in real terms, which usually signals successful fundraising and program expansion. Officer compensation is modest relative to organizational size: Barnard College reports $5.7M in total compensation for current officers and key employees (Form 990 Part IX, line 5) against $313.7M in revenue. The ratio is well within the bands third-party charity raters consider reasonable at this scale. In the Education category, Barnard College 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.
