governance DOI

R package for creating a nonprofit governance index score using 990 efile data.

Installation

r devtools::install_github( 'nonprofit-open-data-collective/governance' )

Usage

Step 1: Get Input data

We assume the user already has the relevant 990 Efile data downloaded. See Downlaoding Data Vignette for instructions on downloading the need 990 efile data.

We will use a subset of a test set that was already created. See data-raw/01-get-example-data.Rhere for details on how this data set was created.

```r data("dat_example", package = "governance")

set.seed(57) keeprows <- sample(1:nrow(datexample), 200) datexample <- datexample[keep_rows, ]

```

Step 2: Get Features Matrix

Use the get_features() function to clean the data and transform it into a features matrix.

r features_example <- get_features(dat_example)

Step 3: Calculate the Scores

Use the get_scores() function to get the governance scores.

r scores_example <- get_scores(features_example)
