5-year trend: Acute Stabilization
A successful crisis intervention. After hitting the Priority Review risk tier, the organization demonstrates consecutive years of Financial Score recovery paired with Governance Score improvement.
Overall score has gone from 40 → 35 over 5 years (declining by 5 points).
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.
- 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:
- Build cash reserves to at least 3 months of operating expenses — moves financial resilience score meaningfully (~10 points).
- 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.
