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 20 → 23 over 4 years (improving by 3 points).
What's driving this score
- Comp-to-revenue ratio of 14.5% sits within the sector's healthy band (18–22%).
- Behrmann, Ron holds 6 distinct authority roles, which creates concentration risk.
- Two consecutive years of deficit spending.
- Governance score is in the bottom quartile of the sector, typically driven by compensation concentration or related authority clustering.
- Financial resilience score in the bottom quartile — reserves and liabilities ratios warrant review.
- Sustained governance crisis: score has stayed below 25 for 4 consecutive years — a chronic pattern.
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).
- Build cash reserves to at least 3 months of operating expenses — moves financial resilience score meaningfully (~10 points).
Improving governance is a board decision. These are the levers.
