Overseas aid and international: charities in United States

Overview

United States has 21,267 registered charities working on overseas aid and international on the current register extract, of which 10,317 reported income in their latest return. Together they reported $57.10bn of income. The median charity took in $188k, while the largest tenth reported $2.8m 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 overseas aid and international account for 33% of the total. Across the whole group, 504 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.

3,465 of the charities with reported income (34%) took in under $100k a year. Pages for the 7,319 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.
