Skidmore College: $269.4M Revenue, $192.3M Program Expenses

The efficiency rubric puts Skidmore College at a B grade: a composite of 68/100 that lands above the national midpoint. The grade reflects solid program-spending discipline alongside reasonable executive compensation and financial reserves.

Skidmore College is a large nonprofit by U.S. standards: $269.4M in 2023 revenue against $246.6M 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.

Five-year revenue has grown modestly. Skidmore College is not expanding rapidly but is not shrinking either; the trajectory is consistent with stable donor and grant relationships. 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, Skidmore College 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.
