The 4 Montana nonprofits in our dataset are ranked here by efficiency score. Top-of-list combines strong program-spending discipline, healthy reserves, and reasonable executive compensation.
Efficiency rankings do not necessarily favor large or small organizations — the rubric rewards organizations that allocate resources toward programs, run on stable funding, and pay executives in line with sector norms regardless of scale. Efficiency scores are recomputed each time we ingest new Form 990 filings; small movements year-to-year are normal as filing data updates.
