C+
—Program efficiency40% of the ratingNo expense breakdown in filings

The worse of the two measures sets the letter (85%+ to programs is an A; under $15 to raise $100 is an A), averaged over the three most recent filings. Not scored for Nashville Entrepreneur Center— this filing type doesn't report it, and the rating simply skips it (never counts it against the organization). See the exact thresholds →
C+Financial health25% of the rating15 mo reserves · -11% margin
