Overview
England and Wales has 18,666 registered charities working on environment and conservation on the current register extract, of which 16,806 reported income in their latest return. Together they reported £13.58bn of income. The median charity took in £19k, while the largest tenth reported £616k or more, so a typical donation goes to a far smaller organisation than the household names at the top of this list.
Income is concentrated: the ten largest charities working on environment and conservation account for 19% of the total. Across the whole group, 3,858 charities have a note from the register, such as overdue accounts or three years of spending above income, and those notes are shown on each charity's page.
12,401 of the charities with reported income (74%) took in under £100k a year. Pages for the 10,258 charities with several years of accounts include their full income history, a comparison with similar-sized peers and a breakdown of where the money comes from.
