Problem
Compares one selected not-for-profit with its similar sized peer not-for-profit organization.
Task
A. Select a not-for-profit of interest to you. Find its employer identification number (EIN). Not-for-profits can be searched on the Guidestar by Candid website. The EIN is located on the individual not-for-profit profile page. Within the EIN, you can look up your chosen not-for-profit in the dataset. Calculate the financial ratios for your chosen organization and its sector. If the organization is not included in the dataset, you will either have to calculate the ratios manually from the Form 990 or select an organization that is included in the dataset.
B. How does the financial condition of your chosen not-for-profit compare with the not-for-profit sector as a whole (all subsection codes)?
C. How does the financial condition of your chosen not-for-profit compare with similar sized not-for-profits within its subsection code (501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), 501(c)(5), etc.)? For size partitions, you can utilize the following size bands: total revenues less than $500,000, total revenues between $500,000 and $1,000,000, total revenues between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, total revenues between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000, total revenues between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000, and total revenues greater than $20,000,000.
