Score breakdown
The three components combine into a single 0–100 score weighted as shown. Full methodology →
Peer comparison
Compared to 236 other orgs in WA with NTEE prefix A6.
Most-divergent component: program score sits 13 points above the peer median (45 vs. 32).
5-year trend: Steady State
No extreme longitudinal divergence detected. The organization is maintaining its current operational philosophy.
What's driving this score
- Comp-to-revenue ratio of 28.2% is modestly above the sector's healthy band (18–22%) — worth monitoring.
- Net assets declined for 6 consecutive years of deficit spending; cash runway narrowing.
What would change this score
The two changes that would most improve this score:
- Reduce top-officer compensation from 28.2% to under 22% of revenue — would move governance score by ~12 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.
