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 51 → 34 over 5 years (declining by 17 points). A multi-year directional move of this magnitude is a signal worth investigating.
What's driving this score
- All-volunteer org with no paid officers — governance signal is neutral (default 50), not absent.
- Financial resilience score in the bottom quartile — reserves and liabilities ratios warrant review.
