Overview

United States has 98,915 registered charities working on amateur sport and recreation on the current register extract, of which 30,892 reported income in their latest return. Together they reported $24.18bn of income. The median charity took in $112k, while the largest tenth reported $759k 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 amateur sport and recreation account for 33% of the total. Across the whole group, 880 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.

14,114 of the charities with reported income (46%) took in under $100k a year. Pages for the 18,405 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.
