Peer comparison
Compared to 221 other orgs in NC with NTEE prefix A6.
Most-divergent component: financial score sits 47 points below the peer median (5 vs. 52).
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.
What's driving this score
- Comp-to-revenue ratio of 27.7% is modestly above the sector's healthy band (18–22%) — worth monitoring.
- 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:
- Separate signing authority from fundraising authority when both are held by one person — removes the concentration penalty (~12 points).
- Reduce top-officer compensation from 27.7% to under 22% of revenue — would move governance score by ~11 points.
Improving governance is a board decision. These are the levers.
