Lincoln Park Zoological Society: $48.4M Revenue, $31.2M Program Expenses

The composite efficiency score of 63/100 puts Lincoln Park Zoological Society at C — neither standout nor failing. Some factors run above the median (typically program spending) while others run below (typically reserves or trend stability).

Lincoln Park Zoological Society reported $48.4M 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. Program-spending efficiency is strong: 80% of total expenses flow to program activities, above the 75% benchmark most third-party charity raters use.

Revenue trend is mildly positive across the five-year filing window — modest growth, consistent with stable funding sources keeping pace with organizational costs. 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. Lincoln Park Zoological Society 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.
