OPERATING EFFICIENCY RANK OF IOWA NON

RANKINGS OF OPERATING EFFICIENCIES OF 81 HIGHEST INCOME, CEDAR RAPIDS, IA NON-PROFITS

The following table ranks the average operating efficiencies of Cedar Rapids' non-profits having incomes of $1 million or more. The incomes for each was found on website: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-soi/eo_ia.xls

The operating efficiency numbers were derived with the same methods used for deriving operating efficiencies for Governor Vilsack's office, and other state agencies, etc. , etc. The Governor disliked the number and was going to challenge it until his highly paid performance improvement consultants advised him otherwise--since he had no numbers at all, and since the consultants contacted Iowalive net workers and learned how the numbers were derived--to their satisfaction, if not amazement. Further derivation information is posted on website: http://iowalive.net/

It is of concern that only 10 organizations had efficiencies of 70% or better.

It is further noted that excessive salaries and staffing, and inadequate or non-existing performance measures, contribute heavily to most of the lower ranked organizations.

Anyone claiming to have better numbers than those included herein, are asked to provide them for evaluation and comparison.
