Susquehanna University: $155.8M Revenue, $170.9M Expenses

Susquehanna University grades a B on the NonprofitTruth efficiency rubric. 67/100 on the composite — above the national median, with strong performance on some factors balanced by middling performance on others.

Susquehanna University is a large nonprofit by U.S. standards: $155.8M in 2023 revenue against $170.9M in expenses. Organizations in this revenue bracket usually run multiple programs with permanent staff and a meaningful endowment or reserve. Susquehanna University holds a moderate reserve position relative to its $170.9M in annual expenses — neither fragile nor a large surplus.

Five-year revenue has grown modestly. Susquehanna University is not expanding rapidly but is not shrinking either; the trajectory is consistent with stable donor and grant relationships. Officer compensation is modest relative to organizational size: Susquehanna University reports $1.8M in total compensation for current officers and key employees (Form 990 Part IX, line 5) against $155.8M in revenue. The ratio is well within the bands third-party charity raters consider reasonable at this scale. In the Education category, Susquehanna University 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.
