Environment and conservation: charities in United States

Overview

United States has 27,755 registered charities working on environment and conservation on the current register extract, of which 10,430 reported income in their latest return. Together they reported $20.52bn of income. The median charity took in $193k, while the largest tenth reported $3.0m 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 17% of the total. Across the whole group, 378 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.

3,631 of the charities with reported income (35%) took in under $100k a year. Pages for the 6,956 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.
