Urban Land Institute: $95.6M Revenue, $91.9M Expenses

The efficiency rubric puts Urban Land Institute at a B grade: a composite of 66/100 that lands above the national midpoint. The grade reflects solid financial reserves alongside reasonable officer compensation and steady revenue.

At $95.6M in 2023 revenue, Urban Land Institute 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, Urban Land Institute 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 trend is mildly positive across the five-year filing window — modest growth, consistent with stable funding sources keeping pace with organizational costs. Officer compensation is on the higher side of the band typical for nonprofits this size: $5.7M in total current-officer compensation against $95.6M in revenue. Not necessarily inappropriate — large healthcare systems and university systems often pay competitively with for-profit equivalents — but worth reading in context. Urban Land Institute 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.
