Baylor College Of Medicine: $2.6B Revenue, $2.6B Expenses

Baylor College Of Medicine grades a B on the NonprofitTruth efficiency rubric. 79/100 on the composite — above the national median, with strong performance on some factors balanced by middling performance on others.

Baylor College Of Medicine operates at corporate scale — $2.6B in reported 2023 revenue. At over a billion in annual revenue, nonprofits typically run consolidated operations across multiple states or business lines, and the IRS Form 990 reflects a much larger operational footprint than a typical 501(c)(3). Financial health is a strength: Baylor College Of Medicine carries a healthy operating-reserve cushion against $2.6B in annual expenses, the kind of balance-sheet stability that helps an organization weather funding gaps without cutting programs.

Five-year revenue trajectory is strongly positive: Baylor College Of Medicine has grown materially in real terms, which usually signals successful fundraising and program expansion. Officer compensation is modest relative to organizational size: Baylor College Of Medicine reports $16.4M in total compensation for current officers and key employees (Form 990 Part IX, line 5) against $2.6B in revenue. The ratio is well within the bands third-party charity raters consider reasonable at this scale. In the Education category, Baylor College Of Medicine 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.
