Whitworth University: $141.4M Revenue, $113.1M Program Expenses

Whitworth University grades a B on the nonprofit efficiency rubric. 70/100 on the composite — above the national median, with strong performance on some factors balanced by middling performance on others.

Whitworth University is a large nonprofit by U.S. standards: $141.4M in 2023 revenue against $145.0M in expenses. Organizations in this revenue bracket usually run multiple programs with permanent staff and a meaningful endowment or reserve. Whitworth University directs 80% of its expenses to programs — above the third-party-rater threshold for an efficient organization.

Five-year revenue is essentially flat — Whitworth University's funding base appears stable but not growing. For mature organizations this is often the steady state; for younger ones it can signal a funding plateau worth diagnosing. CEO compensation is reported as zero in the filing — typical for nonprofits where the chief executive 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. In the Education category, Whitworth 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 ratios should be read.
