Denver Botanic Garden Inc: $46.0M Revenue, $32.3M Program Expenses

Denver Botanic Garden Inc grades a B on the nonprofit efficiency rubric. 71/100 on the composite — above the national median, with strong performance on some factors balanced by middling performance on others.

Denver Botanic Garden Inc reported $46.0M 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. Denver Botanic Garden Inc directs 80% of its expenses to programs — above the third-party-rater threshold for an efficient organization.

Revenue trend is mildly positive across the five-year filing window — modest growth, consistent with stable funding sources keeping pace with organizational costs. CEO compensation is reported as zero in the filing — typical for nonprofits where the chief executive is paid through a related entity (parent system, university, or foundation) rather than the filing organization itself, or for small organizations whose chief is a volunteer or board member. Denver Botanic Garden Inc 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.
