Southwestern Medical Foundation: $72.8M Revenue, $51.9M Expenses

Southwestern Medical 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: 59/100.

Southwestern Medical Foundation reported $72.8M in 2023 revenue — a mid-sized nonprofit by U.S. standards. Organizations in this bracket typically operate with a small permanent staff, project-based program structures, and modest reserves. Reserves are the limiting factor: Southwestern Medical 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. Southwestern Medical Foundation reported $72.8M in 2023, up notably from the start of the window. Officer compensation is modest relative to organizational size: Southwestern Medical Foundation reports $809,372 in total compensation for current officers and key employees (Form 990 Part IX, line 5) against $72.8M in revenue. The ratio is well within the bands third-party charity raters consider reasonable at this scale. In the Education category, Southwestern Medical 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 figures should be read.
