Public IRS 990 nonprofit record

CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY

EIN 56-0529940 · Education (B430)

What they do

to GRADUATE STUDENTS WITH EXEMPLARY ACADEMIC and PROFESSIONAL SKILLS WHO ARE PREPARED for PURPOSEFUL LIVES and MEANINGFUL SERVICE. THE UNIVERSITY is INFORMED and INSPIRED BY ITS BAPTIST HERITAGE and THREE BASIC THEOLOGICAL and BIBLICAL PRESUPPOSITIONS: LEARNING is APPOINTED and CONSERVED BY GOD AS ESSENTIAL to THE FULFILLMENT of HUMAN DESTINY; IN CHRIST ALL THINGS CONSIST and FIND ULTIMATE UNITY; and THE KINGDOM of GOD IN THE WORLD is ROOTED and GROUNDED IN CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY. THE UNIVERSITY EMBRACES THE CONVICTION THAT THERE is NO CONFLICT BETWEEN THE LIFE of FAITH and THE LIFE of INQUIRY.

Tax year 2024

A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.

How each $100 of revenue was used

The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.

Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.

Has the pattern changed?

Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
