How to Use This Cross-Section

Pages that intersect a single NTEE category and a single state are the most apples-to-apples comparison NonprofitTruth offers. The donor question they answer is narrow: among the arts, culture & humanities charities operating from a Indiana office, how does Organization X compare on financial structure to Organization Y? Sort by revenue first to keep scale roughly constant, then sort by Efficiency Score within a tier.

The NonprofitTruth Efficiency Score is a 0–100 composite that summarizes four signals from the Form 990: program-spending ratio (50% of the score), revenue-growth consistency over multiple years (20%), months of fund reserves on the balance sheet (20%), and CEO compensation as a share of revenue (10%). The grade A–F mapping is purely descriptive — it summarizes the financial structure that the 990 reveals, not the social impact, program quality, or outcomes of the work the organization does. Donors evaluating impact should pair these financial signals with program-level evaluations from sources like Charity Navigator, GiveWell, or the organization's own audited reports.

Why might two arts, culture & humanities nonprofits in Indiana score very differently?

Common drivers: a difference in revenue scale (which affects fixed-cost ratios), a capital-campaign year on one side that distorts the program ratio, a reliance on professional fundraisers (counted outside program services on Form 990), or a different mix of program-vs-administrative classification by the organization’s auditor. The 990’s Schedule O narrative usually explains unusual movements.
