Thomas Jefferson Foundation Inc: $35.0M Revenue, $42.3M Expenses

Thomas Jefferson Foundation Inc grades an F: the lowest bracket on the efficiency rubric. 32/100 composite, with multiple factors below the national benchmarks — usually a combination of precarious reserves, declining or erratic revenue, and officer compensation that runs high relative to size.

Thomas Jefferson Foundation Inc reported $35.0M 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: Thomas Jefferson Foundation Inc 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 declined meaningfully over the five-year filing window — a pattern that warrants attention to underlying funding sustainability. Thomas Jefferson Foundation Inc's 2023 revenue is materially below its earlier filings. Compensation for current officers and key employees runs $1.1M against $35.0M 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. Thomas Jefferson Foundation Inc 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.
