San Francisco Ballet Endowment Foundation: $8.2M Revenue, $11.8M Expenses

San Francisco Ballet Endowment Foundation pulls a D on the efficiency rubric. The composite of 44/100 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.

With $8.2M in 2023 revenue, San Francisco Ballet Endowment Foundation is in the small-nonprofit bracket — typical of single-program organizations or regional chapters of larger national groups. On the financial-health factor, San Francisco Ballet Endowment Foundation runs thin — assets relative to annual spending fall below the cushion nonprofit-finance experts typically recommend.

Five-year revenue trend is mildly negative: a modest decline that could reflect grant-cycle timing, donor turnover, or program wind-down. Worth checking against the program-spending pattern to see whether the decline is structural. Compensation for current officers and key employees runs $194,517 against $8.2M 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. San Francisco Ballet Endowment 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.
