Dignity Health: $9.9B Revenue, $10.1B Expenses

Dignity Health grades a B on the NonprofitTruth efficiency rubric. 74/100 on the composite — above the national median, with strong performance on some factors balanced by middling performance on others.

Dignity Health operates at corporate scale — $9.9B 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: Dignity Health carries a healthy operating-reserve cushion against $10.1B in annual expenses, the kind of balance-sheet stability that helps an organization weather funding gaps without cutting programs.

Five-year revenue is essentially flat — Dignity Health's funding base appears stable but not growing. For mature organizations this is often the steady state; for younger ones it can signal a funding plateau worth diagnosing. Officer compensation is modest relative to organizational size: Dignity Health reports $82.1M in total compensation for current officers and key employees (Form 990 Part IX, line 5) against $9.9B in revenue. The ratio is well within the bands third-party charity raters consider reasonable at this scale. Dignity Health is categorized under Health — the largest segment of U.S. nonprofit revenue, dominated by hospitals, hospital systems, and health-research organizations. The financial profile in this category is capital-intensive, with large balance sheets and program service revenue that often dwarfs donations.
