Desert Botanical Garden: $26.7M Revenue, $21.6M Expenses

The composite efficiency score of 57/100 puts Desert Botanical Garden at C — neither standout nor failing. Some factors run above the median (often reserves) while others run below (often revenue stability or officer-comp ratio).

At $26.7M in 2023 revenue, Desert Botanical Garden 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. On the financial-health factor, Desert Botanical Garden runs thin — assets relative to annual spending fall below the cushion nonprofit-finance experts typically recommend.

Revenue has grown meaningfully across the five-year filing history — a sign of expanding donor base, new grants, or scaling programs. Desert Botanical Garden reported $26.7M in 2023, up notably from the start of the window. Compensation for current officers and key employees runs $786,900 against $26.7M 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. Desert Botanical Garden 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.
