Jazz At Lincoln Center Inc: $34.6M Revenue, $35.1M Program Expenses

Jazz At Lincoln Center Inc earns a C on the efficiency rubric — the median bucket on the LakeQuality scale, indicating performance close to the national midpoint across program spending, executive compensation, and financial reserves. Composite score: 58/100.

At $34.6M in 2023 revenue, Jazz At Lincoln Center Inc 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. Program-spending efficiency is strong: 80% of total expenses flow to program activities, above the 75% benchmark most third-party charity raters use.

Revenue has declined meaningfully over the five-year filing window — a pattern that warrants attention to underlying funding sustainability. Jazz At Lincoln Center Inc's 2023 revenue is materially below its earlier filings. 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. Jazz At Lincoln Center Inc 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.
