Museum Of Flight Foundation: $65.3M Revenue, $26.9M Expenses

Museum Of Flight Foundation earns a C on the efficiency rubric — the median bucket on the NonprofitTruth scale, indicating performance close to the national midpoint across financial reserves, officer compensation, and revenue consistency. Composite score: 55/100.

At $65.3M in 2023 revenue, Museum Of Flight Foundation sits in the mid-range of the U.S. nonprofit distribution. Most organizations of this scale operate regionally or focus on a single program area. Reserves are the limiting factor: Museum Of Flight Foundation carries relatively few months of operating expenses on its balance sheet, which can leave an organization exposed if a major funding source pauses.

Revenue has grown meaningfully across the five-year filing history — a sign of expanding donor base, new grants, or scaling programs. Museum Of Flight Foundation reported $65.3M in 2023, up notably from the start of the window. Compensation for current officers and key employees runs $1.6M against $65.3M 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 Of Flight Foundation 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.
