Scorecards for institutions that are hard to compare

Some things you can shop for. Nonprofits 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.

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.
