Peer comparison
Compared to 196 other orgs in IL with NTEE prefix A6.
Most-divergent component: financial score sits 11 points below the peer median (25 vs. 36).
5-year trend: Steady State
No extreme longitudinal divergence detected. The organization is maintaining its current operational philosophy.
Overall score has gone from 19 → 27 over 5 years (improving by 8 points).
What's driving this score
- Comp-to-revenue ratio of 44.3% is well above the sector's 90th percentile (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:
- Reduce top-officer compensation from 44.3% to under 22% of revenue — would move governance score by ~40 points.
- Separate signing authority from fundraising authority when both are held by one person — removes the concentration penalty (~12 points).
Improving governance is a board decision. These are the levers.
