Organizations in this revenue bracket usually run multiple programs with permanent staff and a meaningful endowment or reserve.

Five-year revenue has grown modestly. Everglades College Inc is not expanding rapidly but is not shrinking either; the trajectory is consistent with stable donor and grant relationships. CEO compensation is reported as zero in the filing — typical for nonprofits where the chief executive is paid through a related entity (parent system, university, or foundation) rather than the filing organization itself, or for small organizations whose chief is a volunteer or board member. In the Education category, Everglades College Inc 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 ratios should be read.
