Peer comparison
Compared to 245 other orgs in FL with NTEE prefix A6.
Most-divergent component: financial score sits 30 points above the peer median (60 vs. 30).
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 39.3% is above the 90th percentile for orgs of this size (healthy band: 18–22%).
What would change this score
The two changes that would most improve this score:
- Reduce top-officer compensation from 39.3% to under 22% of revenue — would move governance score by ~35 points.
- Separate signing authority from fundraising authority when both are held by one person — removes the concentration penalty (~12 points).
Improving governance is a board decision. These are the levers.
