Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy: $14.5M Revenue, $8.2M Expenses

The composite efficiency score of 57/100 puts Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy 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 $14.5M in 2024 revenue, Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy 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. Reserves are the limiting factor: Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy 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: Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy has grown materially in real terms, which usually signals successful fundraising and program expansion. Officer compensation is modest relative to organizational size: Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy reports $264,218 in total compensation for current officers and key employees (Form 990 Part IX, line 5) against $14.5M in revenue. The ratio is well within the bands third-party charity raters consider reasonable at this scale. Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy 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.
