Sutter Valley Medical Foundation: $2.0B Revenue, $1.9B Expenses

Sutter Valley Medical Foundation grades a B on the NonprofitTruth efficiency rubric. 76/100 on the composite — above the national median, with strong performance on some factors balanced by middling performance on others.

Sutter Valley Medical Foundation operates at corporate scale — $2.0B in reported 2023 revenue. At over a billion in annual revenue, nonprofits typically run consolidated operations across multiple states or business lines, and the IRS Form 990 reflects a much larger operational footprint than a typical 501(c)(3). Financial health is a strength: Sutter Valley Medical Foundation carries a healthy operating-reserve cushion against $1.9B in annual expenses, the kind of balance-sheet stability that helps an organization weather funding gaps without cutting programs.

Five-year revenue has grown modestly. Sutter Valley Medical Foundation is not expanding rapidly but is not shrinking either; the trajectory is consistent with stable donor and grant relationships. Current-officer compensation is not separately reported in the filing — typical for nonprofits where leadership 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. Sutter Valley Medical Foundation is categorized under Health — the largest segment of U.S. nonprofit revenue, dominated by hospitals, hospital systems, and health-research organizations. The financial profile in this category is capital-intensive, with large balance sheets and program service revenue that often dwarfs donations.
