Yellowstone Forever: $21.3M Revenue, $14.5M Expenses

The composite efficiency score of 62/100 puts Yellowstone Forever at C — neither standout nor failing. Some factors run above the median (often reserves) while others run below (often revenue stability or officer-comp ratio).

Yellowstone Forever reported $21.3M in 2024 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. Operating reserves at Yellowstone Forever are adequate: the balance sheet covers a reasonable share of annual expenses, though not a deep multi-year cushion.

Revenue has grown meaningfully across the five-year filing history — a sign of expanding donor base, new grants, or scaling programs. Yellowstone Forever reported $21.3M in 2024, up notably from the start of the window. Compensation for current officers and key employees runs $443,860 against $21.3M 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. Yellowstone Forever 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.
