B
—Program efficiency40% of the ratingNo expense breakdown in filings

Not scored for Marthas Vineyard Museum Inc— this filing type doesn't report it, and the rating simply skips it (never counts it against the organization). See the exact thresholds →
B+Financial health25% of the rating73 mo reserves · +26% margin
