Scorecards for institutions that are hard to compare

Some things you can shop for. Nonprofits and health insurers are not among them. The filings exist, they are public, and almost nobody reads them, because the numbers arrive scattered across a dozen federal and state formats that were never built to sit side by side. Banyan Institute reads them and publishes what they say.


South Asian American Organization Registry

Live

A searchable map and directory of South Asian American nonprofits, with an organizational health score behind it. Coverage is built from public filings and each organization's own web presence, refreshed quarterly. Anyone can submit an organization that is missing.

Health Insurer Scorecard

Live

Every marketplace health insurer in the country, graded on how often it denies claims, what members say about it, its quality ratings, and how much of each premium dollar it spends on care. Built for someone buying a plan in their own state, so each carrier carries both a national letter grade and a rank against the other options on their screen.

How the scoring works

Every score traces back to a file you can download yourself. Where a source is missing for one subject and present for another, that gap is shown rather than averaged away, because quietly dropping a hard measure rewards whoever discloses least. Weights and grade cutoffs live in a config file, not buried in code, and each scorecard publishes what it could not measure alongside what it could.
