Pennsylvania Horticultural Society: $37.8M Revenue, $34.3M Expenses

The efficiency rubric puts Pennsylvania Horticultural Society at a B grade: a composite of 75/100 that lands above the national midpoint. The grade reflects solid financial reserves alongside reasonable officer compensation and steady revenue.

At $37.8M in 2023 revenue, Pennsylvania Horticultural Society 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, Pennsylvania Horticultural Society 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).

Revenue has grown meaningfully across the five-year filing history — a sign of expanding donor base, new grants, or scaling programs. Pennsylvania Horticultural Society reported $37.8M in 2023, up notably from the start of the window. Compensation for current officers and key employees runs $784,538 against $37.8M 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. Pennsylvania Horticultural Society 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.
