Hampton University: $197.4M Revenue, $212.8M Expenses

Hampton University pulls a D on the efficiency rubric. The composite of 48/100 reflects below-median performance on the bundle of factors — typically driven by thin operating reserves, volatile revenue, or outsized officer compensation relative to organizational size.

Annual revenue at Hampton University runs $197.4M (2023), placing it among the larger U.S. nonprofits in the IRS Form 990 dataset. Reserves are the limiting factor: Hampton University carries relatively few months of operating expenses on its balance sheet, which can leave an organization exposed if a major funding source pauses.

Five-year revenue is essentially flat — Hampton University'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: Hampton University reports $836,282 in total compensation for current officers and key employees (Form 990 Part IX, line 5) against $197.4M in revenue. The ratio is well within the bands third-party charity raters consider reasonable at this scale. In the Education category, Hampton 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.
