Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance Inc: $35.5M Revenue, $35.3M Expenses

The efficiency rubric puts Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance Inc at a B grade: a composite of 71/100 that lands above the national midpoint. The grade reflects solid financial reserves alongside reasonable officer compensation and steady revenue.

At $35.5M in 2023 revenue, Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance 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. On the reserves factor, Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance Inc scores well — assets relative to annual spending sit in the range nonprofit-finance experts consider healthy (roughly three months to two years of operating expenses).

Five-year revenue trend is mildly negative: a modest decline that could reflect grant-cycle timing, donor turnover, or program wind-down. Worth checking against the program-spending pattern to see whether the decline is structural. Officer compensation is modest relative to organizational size: Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance Inc reports $603,466 in total compensation for current officers and key employees (Form 990 Part IX, line 5) against $35.5M in revenue. The ratio is well within the bands third-party charity raters consider reasonable at this scale.

The sector spans large international conservation groups and small local land trusts; the financial profile varies accordingly.
