University Of Rochester: $5.4B Revenue, $5.3B Expenses

University Of Rochester grades a B on the NonprofitTruth efficiency rubric. 79/100 on the composite — above the national median, with strong performance on some factors balanced by middling performance on others.

On revenue, University Of Rochester is among the largest U.S. nonprofits: $5.4B in 2023 reported revenue. Organizations at this scale typically operate hospitals, university systems, or national federations — the financial pattern looks more like a corporation than the small-charity stereotype. On the reserves factor, University Of Rochester scores well — assets relative to annual spending sit in the range nonprofit-finance experts consider healthy (roughly three months to two years of operating expenses).

Revenue has grown meaningfully across the five-year filing history — a sign of expanding donor base, new grants, or scaling programs. University Of Rochester reported $5.4B in 2023, up notably from the start of the window. Officer compensation is modest relative to organizational size: University Of Rochester reports $17.1M in total compensation for current officers and key employees (Form 990 Part IX, line 5) against $5.4B in revenue. The ratio is well within the bands third-party charity raters consider reasonable at this scale. In the Education category, University Of Rochester 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.
