Denver Art Museum Inc: $44.7M Revenue, $53.1M Expenses

Denver Art Museum Inc pulls a D on the efficiency rubric. The composite of 37/100 reflects below-median performance on the bundle of factors — typically driven by thin operating reserves, volatile revenue, or outsized officer compensation relative to organizational size.

Denver Art Museum Inc reported $44.7M 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. On the financial-health factor, Denver Art Museum Inc runs thin — assets relative to annual spending fall below the cushion nonprofit-finance experts typically recommend.

Revenue has declined meaningfully over the five-year filing window — a pattern that warrants attention to underlying funding sustainability. Denver Art Museum Inc's 2023 revenue is materially below its earlier filings. Compensation for current officers and key employees runs $1.1M against $44.7M 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. Denver Art Museum 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.
