Peer comparison
Compared to 221 other orgs in NC with NTEE prefix A6.
Most-divergent component: program score sits 29 points above the peer median (60 vs. 31).
5-year trend: Institutional Maturation
The gold standard. 10-year slow, steady, concurrent growth across Financial Health, Governance, and Program. Leadership is scaling their oversight and impact in lockstep.
What's driving this score
- Comp-to-revenue ratio of 7.4% sits within the sector's healthy band (18–22%).
- Net assets declined for 4 consecutive years of deficit spending; cash runway narrowing.
What would change this score
The two changes that would most improve this score:
- Stabilize program expenses or grow earned-income revenue to break the consecutive-deficit pattern (~8 points to financial score).
Improving governance is a board decision. These are the levers.
