Score breakdown

Peer comparison
Compared to 700 other orgs in NY with NTEE prefix A6.
Most-divergent component: financial score sits 49 points above the peer median (80 vs. 31).
5-year trend: Steady State
No extreme longitudinal divergence detected. The organization is maintaining its current operational philosophy.
What's driving this score
- All-volunteer org with no paid officers — governance signal is neutral (default 50), not absent.
- Net assets declined for 3 consecutive years of deficit spending; cash runway narrowing.
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.
