Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Efficiency Score?
NonprofitTruth's grading system rates nonprofits A–F based on three factors drawn from IRS Form 990 data: financial health / operating reserves (40%), multi-year revenue growth consistency (35%), and officer compensation relative to revenue (25%). It does not estimate a program-spending ratio, because that figure is not available in our data source.
Where does this data come from?
All data comes from IRS Form 990 filings, accessed via the ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer API. Every tax-exempt organization is required to file annually, making this data publicly available.
How often is the data updated?
We update as new filings become available through the ProPublica API. IRS 990 data typically lags 6–18 months from the tax year.
How much do nonprofit officers make?
Compensation for current officers varies enormously, from under $100,000 at small community organizations to tens of millions in aggregate at the largest hospital and university systems (where many executives are listed). Search any nonprofit on NonprofitTruth to see the exact total current-officer compensation (Form 990 Part IX, line 5) from its filing.
Does the Efficiency Score measure program spending?
No. Total program service expenses (Form 990 Part IX, line 25, column B) are not carried in the ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer feed we ingest, so we do not compute or estimate a program-vs-overhead ratio. You can read that breakdown directly on each organization's e-filed Form 990 or on Candid (GuideStar).
What is a nonprofit operating budget?
A nonprofit's operating budget is its total annual expenses, program costs, administrative overhead, and fundraising expenses. You can find this on IRS Form 990 (Part IX). Search any nonprofit on NonprofitTruth to see its revenue, expenses, reserves, and officer compensation.
