American Film Institute Inc: $39.7M Revenue, $34.8M Expenses

American Film Institute Inc earns a C on the efficiency rubric — the median bucket on the NonprofitTruth scale, indicating performance close to the national midpoint across financial reserves, officer compensation, and revenue consistency. Composite score: 64/100.

American Film Institute Inc reported $39.7M 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: American Film Institute Inc carries a healthy operating-reserve cushion against $34.8M 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. American Film Institute Inc 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: $3.1M against $39.7M in revenue. This is one of the factors driving the efficiency grade down on the rubric. American Film Institute Inc sits in the cultural-nonprofit sector (Arts, Culture & Humanities). Museum, performing-arts, and cultural organizations carry distinctive financial patterns — earned revenue from ticket sales and admissions, plus a heavy reliance on endowment income and major donor cycles.
