African Wildlife Foundation: $33.7M Revenue, $36.7M Expenses

The composite efficiency score of 61/100 puts African Wildlife Foundation at C — neither standout nor failing. Some factors run above the median (often reserves) while others run below (often revenue stability or officer-comp ratio).

African Wildlife Foundation reported $33.7M in 2023 revenue — a mid-sized nonprofit by U.S. standards. Organizations in this bracket typically operate with a small permanent staff, project-based program structures, and modest reserves. Financial health is a strength: African Wildlife Foundation carries a healthy operating-reserve cushion against $36.7M in annual expenses, the kind of balance-sheet stability that helps an organization weather funding gaps without cutting programs.

Five-year revenue has grown modestly. African Wildlife Foundation is not expanding rapidly but is not shrinking either; the trajectory is consistent with stable donor and grant relationships. Officer compensation runs notably high relative to organizational size: $2.4M against $33.7M in revenue. This is one of the factors driving the efficiency grade down on the rubric. African Wildlife Foundation works in Environment & Animals — environmental, conservation, animal-welfare, and natural-resources programs. The sector spans large international conservation groups and small local land trusts; the financial profile varies accordingly.
