Our Rescue: $50.4M Revenue, $53.0M Expenses

Our Rescue grades a B on the NonprofitTruth efficiency rubric. 67/100 on the composite — above the national median, with strong performance on some factors balanced by middling performance on others.

At $50.4M in 2023 revenue, Our Rescue 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, Our Rescue 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 trajectory is strongly positive: Our Rescue has grown materially in real terms, which usually signals successful fundraising and program expansion. Officer compensation is on the higher side of the band typical for nonprofits this size: $2.0M in total current-officer compensation against $50.4M in revenue. Not necessarily inappropriate — large healthcare systems and university systems often pay competitively with for-profit equivalents — but worth reading in context. Our Rescue sits in the cultural-nonprofit sector (Arts, Culture & Humanities). Museum, performing-arts, and cultural organizations carry distinctive financial patterns — earned revenue from ticket sales and admissions, plus a heavy reliance on endowment income and major donor cycles.
