National Tropical Botanical Garden: $12.9M Revenue, $13.6M Expenses

National Tropical Botanical Garden pulls a D on the efficiency rubric. The composite of 47/100 reflects below-median performance on the bundle of factors — typically driven by thin operating reserves, volatile revenue, or outsized officer compensation relative to organizational size.

National Tropical Botanical Garden reported $12.9M 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. On the financial-health factor, National Tropical Botanical Garden runs thin — assets relative to annual spending fall below the cushion nonprofit-finance experts typically recommend.

Revenue trend is mildly positive across the five-year filing window — modest growth, consistent with stable funding sources keeping pace with organizational costs. Compensation for current officers and key employees runs $309,697 against $12.9M in revenue — within the band third-party charity raters typically consider reasonable for an organization of this size and complexity. This is an aggregate across all listed officers, not a single executive's salary. National Tropical Botanical Garden 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.
