Polynesian Cultural Center: $58.2M Revenue, $65.0M Expenses

Polynesian Cultural Center earns a C on the efficiency rubric — the median bucket on the NonprofitTruth scale, indicating performance close to the national midpoint across financial reserves, officer compensation, and revenue consistency. Composite score: 62/100.

At $58.2M in 2023 revenue, Polynesian Cultural Center 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. Operating reserves at Polynesian Cultural Center are adequate: the balance sheet covers a reasonable share of annual expenses, though not a deep multi-year cushion.

Five-year revenue is essentially flat — Polynesian Cultural Center'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. Compensation for current officers and key employees runs $1.7M against $58.2M 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. Polynesian Cultural Center 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.
