American Bird Conservancy grades a B on the NonprofitTruth efficiency rubric. 73/100 on the composite — above the national median, with strong performance on some factors balanced by middling performance on others.

At $27.9M in 2023 revenue, American Bird Conservancy sits in the mid-range of the U.S. nonprofit distribution. Most organizations of this scale operate regionally or focus on a single program area. Financial health is a strength: American Bird Conservancy carries a healthy operating-reserve cushion against $25.3M in annual expenses, the kind of balance-sheet stability that helps an organization weather funding gaps without cutting programs.

Revenue has grown meaningfully across the five-year filing history — a sign of expanding donor base, new grants, or scaling programs. American Bird Conservancy reported $27.9M in 2023, up notably from the start of the window. Compensation for current officers and key employees runs $819,587 against $27.9M in revenue — within the band third-party charity raters typically consider reasonable for an organization of this size and complexity. This is an aggregate across all listed officers, not a single executive's salary. American Bird Conservancy 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.

Financial data is sourced from IRS Form 990 filings via ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer. The Efficiency Score combines three signals the 990 feed actually reports: financial health / operating reserves (40%), multi-year revenue consistency (35%), and current-officer compensation relative to revenue (25%). It does not include a program-spending ratio, because total program service expenses are not exposed by the ProPublica feed; no program ratio is estimated. Filing data may lag 6-18 months from the tax year.
