New York Botanical Garden: $87.2M Revenue, $78.8M Program Expenses

New York Botanical Garden grades a B on the nonprofit efficiency rubric. 68/100 on the composite — above the national median, with strong performance on some factors balanced by middling performance on others.

New York Botanical Garden reported $87.2M 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. New York Botanical Garden directs 80% of its expenses to programs — above the third-party-rater threshold for an efficient organization.

Five-year revenue is essentially flat — New York Botanical Garden's funding base appears stable but not growing. For mature organizations this is often the steady state; for younger ones it can signal a funding plateau worth diagnosing. 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. New York 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.
