Score breakdown
The three components combine into a single 0–100 score weighted as shown. Full methodology →

Compared to 81 other orgs in UT with NTEE prefix A6.
Most-divergent component: financial score sits 23 points above the peer median (55 vs. 32).
5-year trend: Governance Lag
Revenue and Program Scale spike rapidly, but the Governance Score remains stagnant. The organization has outgrown its founding era but hasn't installed proper oversight.
What's driving this score
- All-volunteer org with no paid officers — governance signal is neutral (default 50), not absent.
- Two consecutive years of deficit spending.
What would change this score
The two changes that would most improve this score:
- 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.
