Score breakdown
The three components combine into a single 0–100 score weighted as shown. Full methodology →
Peer comparison
Compared to 148 other orgs in AZ with NTEE prefix A6.
Most-divergent component: financial score sits 49 points above the peer median (90 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 25.9% is modestly above the sector's healthy band (18–22%) — worth monitoring.
- Two consecutive years of deficit spending.
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 25.9% to under 22% of revenue — would move governance score by ~8 points.
Improving governance is a board decision. These are the levers.
