Peer comparison
Compared to 6 other orgs in MI with NTEE prefix A4.
Most-divergent component: financial score sits 28 points below the peer median (10 vs. 38).
5-year trend: Steady State
No extreme longitudinal divergence detected. The organization is maintaining its current operational philosophy.
Overall score has gone from 37 → 31 over 5 years (declining by 6 points).
What's driving this score
- Comp-to-revenue ratio of 19.0% sits within the sector's healthy band (18–22%).
- Financial resilience score in the bottom quartile — reserves and liabilities ratios warrant review.
What would change this score
The two changes that would most improve this score:
- Separate signing authority from fundraising authority when both are held by one person — removes the concentration penalty (~12 points).
- Build cash reserves to at least 3 months of operating expenses — moves financial resilience score meaningfully (~10 points).
Improving governance is a board decision. These are the levers.
