National Parks Conservation Association: $35.1M Revenue, $38.4M Program Expenses

National Parks Conservation Association grades a B on the nonprofit efficiency rubric. 77/100 on the composite — above the national median, with strong performance on some factors balanced by middling performance on others.

National Parks Conservation Association reported $35.1M 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 has declined meaningfully over the five-year filing window — a pattern that warrants attention to underlying funding sustainability. National Parks Conservation Association'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. National Parks Conservation Association 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.
