Highlights

Scottsdale Ranch Community, a Scottsdale-based tax-exempt nonprofit, reported $2,163,021 in revenue for tax year 2023, according to IRS Form 990 data published by ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer. The organization — EIN 86-0420298 — recorded expenses of $2,049,149 for the same period, leaving a net surplus of approximately $113,872.

The TY2023 revenue figure represents a 12.3% increase over TY2022, when the organization reported $1,925,766 in revenue. In TY2022, expenses of $1,991,881 exceeded revenue, producing a deficit. The swing back to a surplus in TY2023 was driven by the revenue increase rather than expense cuts: spending rose from $1,991,881 in TY2022 to $2,049,149 in TY2023.

Officer compensation was reported at $185,000 in each of the three most recent tax years — TY2021, TY2022, and TY2023 — according to the same filings. At $185,000 against TY2023 revenue of $2,163,021, officer pay represents approximately 8.6% of total revenue, below the 15% threshold that nonprofit analysts commonly flag as a potential concern. In TY2022, however, when revenue fell to $1,925,766 while officer comp held at $185,000, that ratio climbed to approximately 9.6%. In TY2021, with revenue of $2,065,049 and the same $185,000 in officer comp, the ratio was approximately 9%.

Total assets grew modestly across the three-year window. The organization held $3,033,159 in assets at the close of TY2021, $3,058,225 at the close of TY2022, and $3,181,454 at the close of TY2023 — the highest figure in the period covered by the filings. The 990 data does not separately enumerate liabilities in the summary figures provided; the full filed document would be required to assess whether liabilities exceed assets.

Revenue fluctuated within a roughly $237,000 band over the three years: $2,065,049 in TY2021, $1,925,766 in TY2022, and $2,163,021 in TY2023. The largest single-year swing was the 6.7% decline from TY2021 to TY2022, well below the 25% threshold that typically signals financial stress in nonprofit analysis. No year-over-year change in the summary data exceeds that threshold.

The 990 filings are mandatory annual disclosures for tax-exempt organizations under federal law. They are filed with the IRS and made publicly available. Tax year designations reflect the organization's fiscal year, not the calendar year in which the return was filed; a TY2023 return would typically have been filed in 2024 or 2025.

Methodology: This analysis draws solely from summary financial data for three tax years — TY2021, TY2022, and TY2023 — as reported in IRS Form 990 filings and aggregated by ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer (EIN 86-0420298). Revenue, expense, officer compensation, and asset figures are taken directly from that source. Ratios and year-over-year changes were calculated by The Watchdog from those figures. The summary data does not include a breakdown of liabilities, program expenses, or individual officer names and titles; those details appear in the full 990 and have not been reviewed for this report. No governance changes, grant patterns, or related-party transactions can be assessed from the summary data alone. Readers seeking the complete filings may access them through ProPublica or directly from the IRS.
