Hi Ariel:
From my observations and review of the data collected during the field scan, there is no easy and simple response to this question. Larger organizations reported much smaller support numbers than smaller organizations. Many organizations also mentioned that they are hiring and need to build/ strengthen internal capacity, which means the numbers might need to be higher.
Overall, the portfolio reviews and internal cost drivers-related work that we have done with several fiscal sponsors show that organizational structure, portfolio complexity, individual and organizational needs, different aspects of support, depth of support, use of technology, and overall size of the organizations all play a role in this equation.
I welcome discussing this topic with particular organizations one-on-one and in group settings. And I am excited to continue deepening our knowledge and experiences in this area.
With gratitude,
Asta
