The College Board’s most recent 990 filing is now available via ProPublica. It covers the year ending December 2024. Some readers may find it interesting to compare and contrast the post-pandemic fortunes of that organization with those of its sometime partner, the Educational Testing Service.
It looks like the College Board has now fully bounced back from its pandemic-era doldrums. After four fairly lean years, program service revenues now sit at just over one billion USD. That’s down 42 million from 2019.
In contrast, program service revenues at ETS are currently down 273 million dollars from their pre-pandemic high.
Likewise, the value of the assets controlled by the College Board have increased 55% since 2019 to reach a staggering 2.5 billion USD.
Meanwhile, in the same time frame, the value of the assets controlled by ETS have dropped by 15% and now sit at a total of 1.7 billion dollars.
I crunched some numbers and put them into an article on LinkedIn. Note that these numbers will all be obsolete in just a couple of weeks when the next audit of ETS is published.
Anyways. I’m asked now and then why I care about this stuff, so I’ll repeat my usual point that both of these untaxed and sometimes unregulated organizations still have a proud impact on the lives of millions of young people around the world.
