About GiveRadar:
charity transparency for everyone
GiveRadar is a free charity intelligence platform that aggregates data from 50+ official government registries across 65+ countries. Integrity assessments, financial breakdowns, officer records, contact details, and red flag detection for over 7 million+ nonprofits worldwide.
The problem
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 Contact information is outdated or missing entirely. 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.
Our solution
One platform, every charity, every country
GiveRadar pulls data from official government registries, tax authorities, and open data portals worldwide. We normalize, enrich, and present it in one clean interface. One search gives you integrity checks, financials, officers, contact details, and red flags for any charity in our coverage, whether it is a large international NGO or a small community organization in rural Southeast Asia.

Why I built GiveRadar
I have always believed that giving matters, even when the donation is small. Personally, I have preferred donating to small charities that focus on a very specific problem in a community. Those are the organizations that rarely make headlines but make a real difference in the lives of the people they serve.
When I tried to find charities in foreign countries, it was genuinely hard to find a smaller one. Search engines would only show me the big, well-known names. Everything else was invisible. Around the same time, I was raising money for a charity by running the New York Marathon, and I realized there had to be a better solution: the lack of searchability and transparency of charities worldwide was a problem worth solving.
Every charity deserves to be found, because what they do matters. And every donor deserves to know what their money is used for. I believe that with transparency, we can create a system where the charities doing real good get empowered to do more of it.
It also helps avoid situations where donations end up in the wrong hands instead of supporting programs. If an organization chooses to operate that way, that is their choice, but donors deserve to know. And for that, we need a transparent system.
My hope is that GiveRadar contributes to building that system. A charity intelligence platform that empowers charities to do what they love most: making a positive impact for the greater good. That is all I really want: to help good people do more good.

What we are building next
GiveRadar started as a transparency layer for the world's charities. We are now extending the platform with two major additions.
First, AI translation of charity data from underserved languages like Japanese, Korean, Thai, and Chinese, so that small local organizations in non-English-speaking countries become findable to international donors for the first time.
Second, AI-assisted research context that helps donors understand what the research says about the problems a charity works on and the interventions it uses. This second capability is designed honestly: for charities where evidence is strong, we say so. Where evidence is limited or absent, we say that too. We do not produce confident impact scores for organizations that lack the data to support them.
This work is informed by conversations with leading Dutch sector bodies, including Goede Doelen Nederland, Stichting Effectief Doneren, and Kenniscentrum Filantropie, who have reviewed and informed our approach.
The company behind GiveRadar
GiveRadar is a product of Timmermans Media OÜ, registered in Tallinn, Estonia. We believe that transparency in the nonprofit sector benefits everyone: donors make better decisions, honest charities get more funding, and bad actors get exposed.
We are currently exploring a transition to a Dutch foundation (stichting) structure to formally align our legal form with our public-benefit mission.
