Denver Center For The Performing Arts: $66.8M Revenue, $66.6M Expenses

The efficiency rubric puts Denver Center For The Performing Arts at a B grade: a composite of 73/100 that lands above the national midpoint. The grade reflects solid financial reserves alongside reasonable officer compensation and steady revenue.

Denver Center For The Performing Arts reported $66.8M 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 reserves factor, Denver Center For The Performing Arts scores well — assets relative to annual spending sit in the range nonprofit-finance experts consider healthy (roughly three months to two years of operating expenses).

Five-year revenue trend is mildly negative: a modest decline that could reflect grant-cycle timing, donor turnover, or program wind-down. Worth checking against the program-spending pattern to see whether the decline is structural. Compensation for current officers and key employees runs $2.4M against $66.8M 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 Center For The Performing Arts 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.
