Kauffman Center For The Performing Arts: $17.5M Revenue, $25.0M Expenses

Kauffman Center For The Performing Arts pulls a D on the efficiency rubric. The composite of 42/100 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.

Kauffman Center For The Performing Arts reported $17.5M 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, Kauffman Center For The Performing Arts runs thin — assets relative to annual spending fall below the cushion nonprofit-finance experts typically recommend.

Five-year revenue is essentially flat — Kauffman Center For The Performing Arts'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. Compensation for current officers and key employees runs $595,036 against $17.5M 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. Kauffman Center For The Performing Arts 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.
