Methodology — 5 metrics, primary data

Financial
Program Expense Ratio
How much of every dollar goes directly to programs vs. overhead. Sourced from IRS 990 filings — the definitive financial record.
Transparency
Information Availability
Does the organization publish 990s, maintain a website, and share contact information? Higher transparency signals higher accountability.
Governance
Board Composition
Board size and structure as reported on 990s. Small boards may lack oversight; very large boards may slow decision-making.
Retention
Fundraising Efficiency
Total contributions divided by fundraising costs. High ratios signal strong donor stewardship — money goes further per dollar raised.
Commitment
Organizational Sustainability
Program concentration ratio and revenue growth over recent filings. Measures whether the organization is building capacity or coasting.
