Museum Associates: $194.5M Revenue, $102.1M Expenses

The composite efficiency score of 50/100 puts Museum Associates at C — neither standout nor failing. Some factors run above the median (often reserves) while others run below (often revenue stability or officer-comp ratio).

Museum Associates is a large nonprofit by U.S. standards: $194.5M in 2023 revenue against $102.1M in expenses. Organizations in this revenue bracket usually run multiple programs with permanent staff and a meaningful endowment or reserve. On the financial-health factor, Museum Associates runs thin — assets relative to annual spending fall below the cushion nonprofit-finance experts typically recommend.

Revenue has declined meaningfully over the five-year filing window — a pattern that warrants attention to underlying funding sustainability. Museum Associates's 2023 revenue is materially below its earlier filings. Compensation for current officers and key employees runs $4.0M against $194.5M 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. Museum Associates 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.
