Oklahoma State University Foundation: $281.5M Revenue, $108.2M Program Expenses

Oklahoma State University Foundation grades a B on the nonprofit efficiency rubric. 73/100 on the composite — above the national median, with strong performance on some factors balanced by middling performance on others.

Oklahoma State University Foundation is a large nonprofit by U.S. standards: $281.5M in 2023 revenue against $138.7M in expenses. Organizations in this revenue bracket usually run multiple programs with permanent staff and a meaningful endowment or reserve. Program-spending efficiency is strong: 80% of total expenses flow to program activities, above the 75% benchmark most third-party charity raters use.

Revenue has grown meaningfully across the five-year filing history — a sign of expanding donor base, new grants, or scaling programs. Oklahoma State University Foundation reported $281.5M in 2023, up notably from the start of the window. CEO compensation is reported as zero in the filing — typical for nonprofits where the chief executive is paid through a related entity (parent system, university, or foundation) rather than the filing organization itself, or for small organizations whose chief is a volunteer or board member. In the Education category, Oklahoma State University Foundation 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 ratios should be read.
