Taking It to the Bank

Many big nonprofits pull in far more cash than they spend and their endowments are growing fast, a Chronicle data analysis shows. A brawl may be brewing on Capitol Hill over the tax status of the biggest endowments.

Nonprofit Endowments Growing Rapidly, <em>Chronicle</em> Data Shows 2
Taylor Callery, for The Chronicle

Hundreds of nonprofits across the country are amassing huge endowments as they collect money far faster than it is going out the door, according to a Chronicle analysis.

For 253 of the more than 1,600 nonprofits studied, the dollars flowing into their endowments over six years exceeded the dollars flowing out by a ratio of more than four to one.

Colleges continue to dominate the top ranks of large endowment holders, but some religious organizations, medical centers, and other types of nonprofits also added far more money to their reserves than went out.

Nonprofit Endowments Growing Rapidly, <em>Chronicle</em> Data Shows 2
Taylor Callery, for The Chronicle

Hundreds of nonprofits across the country are amassing huge endowments as they collect money far faster than it is going out the door, according to a Chronicle analysis.

For 253 of the more than 1,600 nonprofits studied, the dollars flowing into their endowments over six years exceeded the dollars flowing out by a ratio of more than four to one.

Colleges continue to dominate the top ranks of large endowment holders, but some religious organizations, medical centers, and other types of nonprofits also added far more money to their reserves than went out.

The data comes amid renewed criticism — including by some members of Congress — of the large and swelling sums of untaxed money parked at some nonprofits. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, a Republican from Utah, said in April that he would include college endowments in a review of the tax code this year. Ninety-three colleges and universities have endowments of at least $1 billion, and past ideas floated in Congress include imposing a payout rate on those assets, like the 5 percent required of private foundations.

Other types of nonprofits might warrant scrutiny, too, some critics say.

“I think it is good policy to take a look at some of these large endowments and say, ‘Hey, if you’re not putting this to productive use, why are the American taxpayers subsidizing your giant bank account?’ " said Michael Fricke, a lecturer at the University of Illinois College of Business who has called for taxing endowment investment returns.

So what would lawmakers find if they widened their gaze to include other tax-exempt endowments? The Chronicle’s analysis shows that keeping them growing is a priority for senior staff and donors at many types of nonprofits. Over the six-year span that was studied, more than two-thirds of the nonprofits reviewed added at least $2 to their endowments for every $1 that went out due to spending or investment losses. Some added hundreds of dollars for each $1 that left their funds.

The study looked at the growth of endowments from the start of fiscal year 2010 to the end of fiscal 2015. It included more than 1,600 nonprofits with endowments of at least $35 million.

Among the findings:

  • The median ratio of money added versus money disbursed over the six years studied was 2.4, meaning half of the organizations added at least $2.40 for every $1 disbursed and the ratio was lower for the other half.
  • Disbursement rates varied widely. At the top, New England Law, Boston, added $818 for every $1 going out. At the bottom, Albuquerque Academy was among the handful of shrinking endowments; it spent $1 for every 30 cents coming in.
  • As a group, children and youth organizations handed out more than half of what they brought in, keeping their overall endowment growth at 33 percent, the lowest of any group of nonprofits.
  • Private colleges together hold more than $350 billion in endowments — more than twice all other groups combined. That figure went up 61 percent over the six-year period, during which those institutions disbursed about a third (36 percent) of the money they brought in ($133 billion).
  • Of those with the biggest endowments, the NCAA’s incoming and outgoing numbers were among the closest. It brought in $5.3 billion over six years while disbursing just under $5 billion.

Long View

To be sure, most nonprofits have no endowment at all. And a large or fast-growing endowment is not evidence that an institution is needlessly hoarding cash. Even vocal critics say endowments must be considered on a case-by-case basis, taking into account an organization’s mission, business model, and goals or capital projects. And there is no consensus on how big a nonprofit endowment should be relative to its budget, they say.

“If an organization runs a historic home and museum, then creating an endowment makes a lot of sense,” said Alan Cantor, a nonprofit consultant who has studied and written extensively about endowments. “The mission of the organization is perpetual — the preservation of the building and its artifacts.”

But nonprofits that provide medical care or food for poor kids would have a hard time justifying holding significant endowments, he said.

Leaders who manage some of the biggest nonprofit endowments in the country defend them. These funds aren’t all liquid cash that can be easily tapped, they note — donors often place legally binding restrictions on how the money can be used. And they say that the tax-deductible donor contributions and tax-free investment returns will sustain valuable work for decades to come.

“If there were a senator or congressman asking about endowments, I’d say, ‘Well, look at the purpose of it and see why it is established. And is it something that makes sense or not?’ " said John Elbare, director of philanthropy at the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, which has $103 million in two endowments. “I think in our case, it does.”

American taxpayers subsidize the building up of endowments in two ways: Gifts are tax-deductible for donors at the time they are made, and endowment-fund investment income is tax-exempt.


Endowment Cash Flow at More Than 1,600 Nonprofits

This searchable table lists all the nonprofits that were part of The Chronicle’s endowment study, which includes data from the start of fiscal 2010 through the end of fiscal 2015. These nonprofits had endowments of more than $35 million at some point during that time period and had at least four years of data available. The table shows how much they added to their endowments through contributions and investment earnings over all years studied (total cash in), how much was deducted through grants, scholarships, expenses, and investment losses (total cash out), the ratio of those figures, and the change in endowment value over that period.

Fast Growth

Endowment gains as reported to the Internal Revenue Service are the result of contributions, investment earnings, and consolidations. Decreases come from investment losses and spending on such things as grants, scholarships, programs, facilities, and administrative costs.

Among the hospitals and medical centers that built up money quickly was the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., according to informational tax documents it filed. It added $3.2 billion to its endowment from 2010 through 2015 — the result of fundraising to support research and other parts of its operation — while $361 million left the fund.

Others that stowed away money at rates well above the median were Olathe Medical Center in Kansas, Sanford Health in the Dakotas, and Northwestern Memorial HealthCare in Chicago. Still, these endowments remain far smaller than the multibillion-dollar ones at the top of the list, mostly universities.

Shriners Hospitals for Children, the country’s richest nonprofit hospital organization with an endowment of $7.8 billion, added $2.7 billion — the result of investment returns — to its holdings from 2010 to 2015 while $2.2 billion went out, its tax documents show.

By the end of 2015, Liberty University, in Lynchburg, Va., had added more than $1 billion, the bulk of it from contributions, to what was in 2010 a $54 million endowment. Over the same period, about $2.3 million left the endowment. That’s about $444 in for every $1 out. Nearly all of the university’s endowment is quasi-restricted. (See Page 31 for an explanation of restricted endowments.)

Other higher-education institutions that added to endowments at a relatively fast rate include National University in La Jolla, Calif., Endicott College in Beverly, Mass., and Mercy College just outside of New York City.

Harvard University, which holds the largest nonprofit endowment, added $2 for every $1 spent during the six-year span. It closed out its fiscal year 2015 with $36.4 billion.

Other types of nonprofits that reported money coming into endowments much faster than money going out were the Milton Hershey School and School Trust, Misericordia Home, the Carter Center, and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Weighing Future Needs

The Special Operations Warrior Foundation aims to increase its endowment holdings, which total about $103 million, to about $185 million, said Mr. Elbare. That’s how much the charity’s most recent actuarial projections show it needs in the coming decades to pay for postsecondary education for all surviving children of U.S. special-operations soldiers killed on the job, the Tampa, Fla., nonprofit’s core mission.

With $102 million in quasi-restricted endowment funds and $900,000 permanently restricted, the foundation is on its way. From 2010 to 2015, its endowment gained $64 million while $2.3 million went out, according to The Chronicle’s analysis.

Mr. Elbare said the endowment gained traction in the early 2000s when the nonprofit ratcheted up its fundraising. The group’s work resonates with supporters, he said, and as annual donations eclipsed operating expenses, the nonprofit’s board began saving and investing the surplus cash.

So far, the foundation has paid for postsecondary education for 280 individuals, Mr. Elbare said. At any given time, 150 to 160 beneficiaries are in college, and 700 children are currently in the pipeline.

The organization listed total revenue of $17.2 million, including $10.8 million in contributions and grants, on its 2015 Form 990, the most recent available. It listed expenses of $9 million.

“We are certainly not in the mode, nor do I think we would ever be in the mode, of just raising money to raise money and just run up the score,” Mr. Elbare said. “The board’s attitude is that we have a very clearly defined mission, and once we have accumulated enough money to be reasonably sure that we’re going to be able to fund it, they don’t have any interest in continuing to add to it beyond that.”

To meet its obligations to surviving children, the nonprofit needs to be ready for economic slowdowns and spikes in demand, Mr. Elbare said. A single incident can bring multiple additional children to the nonprofit, as occurred in 2011 when a U.S. military helicopter crashed in Afghanistan, killing 38 people.

“There could be something in North Korea or Pakistan or Syria that could cause a whole lot of casualties, and we could be back in a situation like we had back in the height of the Iraq War where we are picking up lots and lots of new kids to educate every year,” he said.

A Tendency to Accumulate

Some critics say that some nonprofits are sitting on too much cash. Charitable donations are not a well at risk of running dry, they argue. Groups with successful fundraising operations can be sure dollars will flow in future years, meaning there is no reason to hold large reserves.

“We don’t have infinite charitable resources. We have to accomplish as much as we can with the limited charitable resources we have,” said Daniel Borochoff, president of the watchdog group CharityWatch, which gives the Special Operations Warrior Foundation failing marks for the size of its endowment. “So if groups decide to stockpile it, then that money is not freely available. It is not available to groups that would be using it to help people in need that are not receiving help, particularly with the government cutbacks.”

The nonprofit Special Operations Warrior Foundation pays for post-secondary education for the children of special operations personnel killed in action. It has added tens of millions of dollars to its endowment in the last half dozen years.

Governance structures and tax treatments of nonprofits create a tendency toward accumulation, say some who have studied them. Among other things, an endowment-fund balance is easy to measure. It might be hard to state in a year-end report that an organization boosted access to education and economic opportunity, but a growing endowment is something CEOs and board members can cite as a sign of good leadership.

No manager wants endowment holdings to shrink or, worse, for a nonprofit to close up shop on his or her watch. It raises the question: Is the endowment serving the nonprofit and its mission, or is the nonprofit serving the endowment?

“If organizations tend to manage the endowment so it grows significantly, that’s partly because at institutions, the size of the endowment has become far more important than it should be,” said Mr. Cantor, the nonprofit consultant.

At some organizations, critics say, there is evidence of this. They point to the Great Recession of 2008 and ’09, during which many universities with big endowments cut staff and spending rather than dipping into long-accumulating endowment dollars.

“There is a natural tendency to see the permanence of the institution, the nonprofit, as being much more important than the people it serves,” said Henry Hansmann, a professor at Yale Law School who has written extensively about nonprofits. “The thought isn’t, ‘How can we spend this money in the most effective way to help society?’ but ‘How can we manage our finances to make sure we survive in perpetuity?’ "

No Requirements

Unlike private foundations, which must distribute 5 percent of their assets each year, there is no legally required payout for nonprofit endowments. That means money can be added and invested for maximum growth in perpetuity. Indeed, in some cases, the legal terms of charitable gifts require exactly that.

“None of us, including Congress, can override the intentions of the donor,” Mr. Cantor said. “We can’t say that the money can be redirected to provide scholarships for undergrads with financial need. That’s not the way endowments work.”

The United Way of Central Indiana closed out fiscal year 2015 with an endowment of $81 million, a far cry from that of many universities but comparatively large for many charities. It added $33.4 million to its endowment during the six-year span analyzed by The Chronicle, most of it the result of investment gains, while $9.9 million went out. The bulk of the endowment originated with a $50 million grant from the Lilly Endowment in the late 1990s that required the United Way to retain the principal plus inflation, said Gina Miller, the Indiana group’s chief financial officer. The aim was to use investment returns to cover the charity’s overhead costs. United Way of Central Indiana has a policy of spending up to 5 percent of the balance per year, depending on investment performance.

It’s a great selling point with donors, Ms. Miller said, when she can tell them a larger share of their contributions will go directly to help people because the organization has a source of money to cover administrative costs. “That really resonates with people,” she said.

The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, typically draws on just under 5 percent of its partially restricted $1.1 billion endowment each year, said director Gary Tinterow. Anything beyond that would require special circumstances and a recommendation from the museum’s budget committee. The roughly $50 million in operating revenue the endowment produces covers half of the museum’s annual budget. About $30 million is used for operations and $20 million for art purchases.

The endowment roughly doubled in the 2000s, Mr. Tinterow said, the result of two large bequests from longtime benefactors of the institution. From the beginning of 2010 through the end of 2015, the museum added $703.7 million to its endowment, the majority of it investment returns, while spending $310.5 million from the fund.

When asked why the museum needs to maintain such a large endowment, Mr. Tinterow described the fund as “absolutely essential.”

“If you were to eliminate the endowment component, we would have to reduce our operations by 50 percent,” he said.

“So rather than employing 630 people, we would only employ 330 people,” he continued. “Rather than doing 12 exhibitions a year, we would do six exhibitions a year.”

The museum director said he has followed the congressional debate over university endowments, and he can imagine some lawmakers might consider nonprofits a good target for solving some budget problems. But taking an action like taxing the largest nonprofit endowments, he argues, is neither a new idea nor a good one.

“To tax institutions like museums or libraries means that those museums and libraries or hospitals will just do less. They will provide less in the community,” Mr. Tinterow said. “And is that what those congressmen who want to tax such institutions, is that what they want to do? Do they want to do less for the community?”
