Peer comparison
Compared to 146 other orgs in NC with NTEE prefix A6.
Most-divergent component: financial score sits 23 points above the peer median (60 vs. 37).
5-year trend: Steady State
No extreme longitudinal divergence detected. The organization is maintaining its current operational philosophy.
Overall score has gone from 43 → 51 over 5 years (improving by 8 points).
What's driving this score
- Comp-to-revenue ratio of 17.0% sits within the sector's healthy band (18–22%).
- Net assets declined for 3 consecutive years of deficit spending; cash runway narrowing.
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).
- 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.
