About GiveRadar
GiveRadar is a free charity intelligence platform covering 7.9M+ nonprofits across 100+ countries. The data comes from 50+ official government registries and tax authorities, supplemented by vetted charity directories where a country publishes no public registry data. One search gives you integrity signals, financials, leadership, and red flags for any charity we cover.
Every charity findable, every donation informed
Make the world's charity data transparent and usable. Every charity deserves to be found, because what they do matters. And every donor deserves to know how a charity is run before they give: who leads it, what it files, and how it handles the money it receives.
A nonprofit sector where transparency is the default. A donor in Amsterdam should be able to research a small community organization in Nairobi or Manila as easily as one in their own city. When that is normal, the organizations doing real good get more of the funding, and donors give with confidence instead of guesswork.
“Charity information should not depend on which country you live in, or which platform can afford to collect it.”
I have always believed that giving matters, even when the donation is small. I have preferred giving to small charities focused on one specific problem in a community. When I tried to find charities in other countries, it was genuinely hard: search engines only showed the big, well-known names, and everything else was invisible.
Around the same time, I was raising money for a charity by running the New York Marathon, and I realized the lack of searchability and transparency of charities worldwide was a problem worth solving. Every charity deserves to be found, and every donor deserves to know what their money is used for.
My hope is that GiveRadar helps build a system where the charities doing real good get the support to do more of it. That is all I really want: to help good people do more good.
Charity data is fragmented and inaccessible
Every year, billions of dollars flow to charities worldwide. But donors and organizations have no easy way to verify where that money goes. Government registries are scattered across hundreds of websites in dozens of languages. Financial filings are buried in PDFs. Contact information is outdated or missing. And for the small local charities that often do the most concentrated good, finding them at all is nearly impossible from outside their home country.
One platform, every charity, every country
GiveRadar pulls data from official government registries, tax authorities, and open data portals worldwide, and from vetted charity directories in countries without public registry data. We normalize it, enrich it, and show where every data point came from. The full pipeline is documented on how GiveRadar works, the scoring on our methodology page, and every source on our data sources page. We publish how the machine works, because asking for trust without showing your work is exactly the problem GiveRadar was built to end.

Independent, official, and accountable
GiveRadar is a product of Timmermans Media OÜ, registered in Tallinn, Estonia. We are currently exploring a transition to a Dutch foundation (stichting) structure to formally align our legal form with our public-benefit mission.
We ask charities to be open about how they run, so the same standard applies to us: tell us when something here is wrong.
Why GiveRadar is built differently
Global instead of national, fully sourced instead of estimated, and free instead of gated. Here is how that compares to the platforms donors already know.
GiveRadarFrequently asked questions
Can charities pay to improve their score or ranking?
No. The integrity assessment is calculated algorithmically from official public data, and there is no way to buy a better score, a higher ranking, or better placement. Claiming a profile is free for every organization; a verified claim earns a small verification signal in the score, exactly like any other disclosure, and money is never involved. The full scoring method, point by point, is public on our methodology page.
Where does the data come from?
From official government registries, tax authorities, and open data portals worldwide, supplemented by vetted charity directories where a country publishes no public registry data. Each charity page shows where its data came from, and the full list per country is on our data sources page.
What does the integrity assessment measure?
Disclosure, not impact. The assessment looks at what a charity discloses or fails to disclose: filings, governance, contact information, and transparency signals. The scoring model is published in full on our methodology page.
How do I claim my charity's profile?
Your organization is probably already listed. Claim it for free to keep your description and contact details current and add a donation link. A verified claim counts as a disclosure signal in your integrity assessment; placement and scores can never be bought. Start on the for nonprofits page.
Which countries does GiveRadar cover?
100+ countries, with coverage deeper in some than others. Every profile is tied to its home country and official registry. Browse the full list on our countries page.
Can I access the data programmatically?
Yes. The same data is available through a REST API with a free tier, and an MCP server that AI assistants can query directly. Plans and documentation are on the API page.
