Waymark Research publishes independent research on nonprofit financial health — what the numbers mean, what patterns show up across the sector, and what leaders can do about them.

The research draws on analysis of 200+ nonprofit financial statements in the Portland metro area. Every finding is translated into plain language designed for executive directors, finance directors, and board members.

The first research brief is coming soon. It covers what I found when I scored 200+ Portland-area nonprofits across five dimensions of financial health: Cash, Revenue, Margin, Efficiency, and Debt.

If you work in or around the nonprofit sector and want better data about financial health — you're in the right place.
