Shelburne Farms: $10.0M Revenue, $7.6M Expenses

Shelburne Farms 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: 53/100.

Shelburne Farms reported $10.0M 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. Reserves are the limiting factor: Shelburne Farms carries relatively few months of operating expenses on its balance sheet, which can leave an organization exposed if a major funding source pauses.

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. Compensation for current officers and key employees runs $278,563 against $10.0M 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. Shelburne Farms 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.
