Peer comparison
Compared to 4 other orgs in VA with NTEE prefix A4.
Most-divergent component: program score sits 13 points below the peer median (30 vs. 43).
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 22.8% 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 22.8% to under 22% of revenue — would move governance score by ~5 points.
Improving governance is a board decision. These are the levers.
