Governors Island Corporation: $65.2M Revenue, $54.1M Expenses

Governors Island Corporation 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: 58/100.

Governors Island Corporation reported $65.2M 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. Reserves are the limiting factor: Governors Island Corporation carries relatively few months of operating expenses on its balance sheet, which can leave an organization exposed if a major funding source pauses.

Five-year revenue trajectory is strongly positive: Governors Island Corporation has grown materially in real terms, which usually signals successful fundraising and program expansion. Officer compensation is modest relative to organizational size: Governors Island Corporation reports $1.1M in total compensation for current officers and key employees (Form 990 Part IX, line 5) against $65.2M in revenue. The ratio is well within the bands third-party charity raters consider reasonable at this scale. Governors Island Corporation 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.
