Endowment size and reporting scope
For American Baptist College, the FY2025 survey records assets of USD 2.816 million. This is a closing asset balance. New gifts, investment results and distributions can all change it during the year. The respondent may hold endowed funds directly or through an affiliated organization. Restrictions attached to those funds continue to govern their use after they are invested together. Total institutional assets can also include buildings and operating resources. Survey scope and definitions
| Fiscal year | Survey endowment, USD millions |
|---|---|
| FY2024 | 1.237 |
| FY2025 | 2.816 |
The FY2025 survey value for American Baptist College is USD 2.816 million, compared with USD 1.237 million for FY2024. The USD 1.579 million movement is 127.65% of the earlier balance. It includes changes in investments as well as additions and distributions. NACUBO explicitly distinguishes this change in market value from an investment rate of return.

Spending policy and payout
The FY2025 NCSE Under $50M group reports an average effective spending rate of 4.5%. That is a survey-group statistic and is not assigned as American Baptist College's policy. An institution's own spending rule can use several prior valuation dates, a prior-year dollar draw or additional adjustments. Its approved appropriation and the cash spent by a department can differ in timing. NCSE spending-rate table
A distribution from an endowed account remains subject to that account's purpose. For American Baptist College, the FY2025 asset figure alone cannot establish either the next approved draw or the part available for unrestricted operations. A policy based on several earlier valuations can produce a different dollar appropriation from a percentage of today's closing balance. The survey group's effective rate has its own measurement basis. Spending measures
Governance and investment office
The FY2025 respondent is American Baptist College, located in Nashville, TN. NACUBO classifies it as a private university or college endowment. That classification identifies the reporting unit. The survey does not name an investment-office head or establish an individual's current appointment. Investment governance
Federal excise tax on investment income
Public Law 119-21 changed Section 4968 for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. Applicable private institutions must have at least 3,000 tuition-paying students in the preceding tax year, with more than half located in the United States, and student-adjusted endowment of at least $500,000. The rates are 1.4% from $500,000 through $750,000 per student, 4% above $750,000 through $2 million, and 8% above $2 million. Enacted law, Section 70415
An institution's tax tier requires its statutory asset base, eligible student count and related-organization treatment. The survey's closing market value does not supply that calculation. No institution-specific rate is assigned without an institutional disclosure. A campus's enrollment in a public fact sheet can differ from the daily-average, full-time-equivalent count required by the law.
The tax applies to net investment income. Statutory student counts and related-organization rules govern its calculation.
FY2025 size-band comparison
The FY2025 survey value of USD 2.816 million places this respondent in the Under $50M band. The published band contains 76 respondents and USD 2.4 billion of aggregate assets. Its average five-year annualized net return is 10.0%, and its ten-year average is 7.5%. The size band uses the FY2025 NACUBO balance. NCSE size groups NCSE average net returns
| NCSE measure | FY2025 average |
|---|---|
| One-year net return | 10.7% |
| Five-year annualized net return | 10.0% |
| Ten-year annualized net return | 7.5% |
| Effective spending rate | 4.5% |
The peer mix describes average reported exposures within one size band. It does not reveal individual securities or the availability of cash at a particular institution. Respondents can also use different policy benchmarks. NCSE returns are net of external management fees and expenses for periods ending June 30, 2025; those periods and fee labels govern any numerical return comparison on this page.
