Compare Clubs

Use comparison for governance and operating context. Start with your own club, then compare against organizations that are actually comparable — not just familiar names. The goal is better benchmarking, better board questions, and better context for decisions. These numbers show what was reported — not why. A club with lower expenses might be running lean, or deferring maintenance. Higher net revenue could mean great fundraising or a one-time building sale. The practitioners closest to the work will know the story behind the numbers.

What makes a strong comparable?

  • Same state or region — a proxy for shared operating season and local cost environment (labor, insurance, vendors).
  • Similar organizational type: club, foundation, community sailing program, or association.
  • Similar revenue scale: same or adjacent revenue band.
  • Same filing type: 990 vs. 990-EZ (disclosure depth differs across forms).
  • Overlapping tax years — the more recent and aligned, the more directly comparable.

The first organization you add becomes the reference club. Search results and suggestions then sort toward stronger peers.

Search and select organizations to compare

Use filters to narrow by state, revenue band, or form type. Select up to 5 organizations. Once you add the first one, Harbor Commons will surface stronger peer candidates and comparability cautions.
