5-year trend: Structural Deficit
Persistently low financial health over 5 years despite strong programmatic output. They are borrowing from their future (or bleeding an endowment) to pay for today's programs.
Overall score has gone from 48 → 22 over 5 years (declining by 26 points). A multi-year directional move of this magnitude is a signal worth investigating.
What's driving this score
- Gurule, Robin holds 6 distinct authority roles, which creates concentration risk.
- Governance score is in the bottom quartile of the sector, typically driven by compensation concentration or related authority clustering.
- Financial resilience score in the bottom quartile — reserves and liabilities ratios warrant review.
- Long-term governance collapse: peak score was 50 in 2014; currently at 25 — the org has not recovered.
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.
