Belmont University: $454.0M Revenue, $405.7M Expenses

The composite efficiency score of 54/100 puts Belmont University 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).

Belmont University is a large nonprofit by U.S. standards: $454.0M in 2023 revenue against $405.7M 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: Belmont 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 trend is mildly positive across the five-year filing window — modest growth, consistent with stable funding sources keeping pace with organizational costs. Officer compensation is modest relative to organizational size: Belmont University reports $7.6M in total compensation for current officers and key employees (Form 990 Part IX, line 5) against $454.0M in revenue. The ratio is well within the bands third-party charity raters consider reasonable at this scale. In the Education category, Belmont 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.
