Peer comparison
Compared to 185 other orgs in MI with NTEE prefix A6.
Most-divergent component: financial score sits 9 points above the peer median (50 vs. 41).
5-year trend: Steady State
No extreme longitudinal divergence detected. The organization is maintaining its current operational philosophy.
What's driving this score
- Comp-to-revenue ratio of 24.8% is modestly above the sector's healthy band (18–22%) — worth monitoring.
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 24.8% to under 22% of revenue — would move governance score by ~6 points.
Improving governance is a board decision. These are the levers.
