Lewis University: $189.0M Revenue, $182.8M Expenses

The efficiency rubric puts Lewis University at a B grade: a composite of 75/100 that lands above the national midpoint. The grade reflects solid financial reserves alongside reasonable officer compensation and steady revenue.

Annual revenue at Lewis University runs $189.0M (2023), placing it among the larger U.S. nonprofits in the IRS Form 990 dataset. Financial health is a strength: Lewis University carries a healthy operating-reserve cushion against $182.8M in annual expenses, the kind of balance-sheet stability that helps an organization weather funding gaps without cutting programs.

Revenue trend is mildly positive across the five-year filing window — modest growth, consistent with stable funding sources keeping pace with organizational costs. Officer compensation is modest relative to organizational size: Lewis University reports $1.7M in total compensation for current officers and key employees (Form 990 Part IX, line 5) against $189.0M in revenue. The ratio is well within the bands third-party charity raters consider reasonable at this scale. In the Education category, Lewis 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.
