Cincinnati Museum Center: $26.9M Revenue, $24.8M Expenses

The composite efficiency score of 53/100 puts Cincinnati Museum Center 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).

Cincinnati Museum Center reported $26.9M in 2023 revenue — a mid-sized nonprofit by U.S. standards. Organizations in this bracket typically operate with a small permanent staff, project-based program structures, and modest reserves. On the financial-health factor, Cincinnati Museum Center runs thin — assets relative to annual spending fall below the cushion nonprofit-finance experts typically recommend.

Revenue has declined meaningfully over the five-year filing window — a pattern that warrants attention to underlying funding sustainability. Cincinnati Museum Center's 2023 revenue is materially below its earlier filings. Compensation for current officers and key employees runs $552,530 against $26.9M in revenue — within the band third-party charity raters typically consider reasonable for an organization of this size and complexity. This is an aggregate across all listed officers, not a single executive's salary. Cincinnati Museum Center sits in the cultural-nonprofit sector (Arts, Culture & Humanities). Museum, performing-arts, and cultural organizations carry distinctive financial patterns — earned revenue from ticket sales and admissions, plus a heavy reliance on endowment income and major donor cycles.
