Trustees Of Reservations: $50.5M Revenue, $55.3M Expenses

Trustees Of Reservations pulls a D on the efficiency rubric. The composite of 47/100 reflects below-median performance on the bundle of factors — typically driven by thin operating reserves, volatile revenue, or outsized officer compensation relative to organizational size.

At $50.5M in 2023 revenue, Trustees Of Reservations 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 financial-health factor, Trustees Of Reservations runs thin — assets relative to annual spending fall below the cushion nonprofit-finance experts typically recommend.

Revenue trend is mildly positive across the five-year filing window — modest growth, consistent with stable funding sources keeping pace with organizational costs. Compensation for current officers and key employees runs $1.8M against $50.5M 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. Trustees Of Reservations 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.
