Ubongo International: $10.3M Revenue, $6.1M Program Expenses

Ubongo International earns an A on the nonprofit efficiency rubric — a top-tier rating that reflects strong program-spending ratios, reasonable executive compensation, and stable financial reserves. The composite score of 81/100 places it in the upper bracket of U.S. tax-exempt organizations.

Ubongo International reported $10.3M 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. Ubongo International directs 80% of its expenses to programs — above the third-party-rater threshold for an efficient organization.

Revenue has grown meaningfully across the five-year filing history — a sign of expanding donor base, new grants, or scaling programs. Ubongo International reported $10.3M in 2023, up notably from the start of the window. CEO compensation is reported as zero in the filing — typical for nonprofits where the chief executive is paid through a related entity (parent system, university, or foundation) rather than the filing organization itself, or for small organizations whose chief is a volunteer or board member. Ubongo International 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.
