Charities in South Carolina

Overview

South Carolina has 28,680 registered charities on the current register extract, of which 6,591 reported income in their latest return. Together they reported $30.22bn of income. The median charity took in $134k, while the largest tenth reported $2.4m 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 account for 49% of the total. Across the whole group, 315 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.

2,788 of the charities with reported income (42%) took in under $100k a year. Pages for the 3,981 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.
