Community development charities work on making the places people live safer, fairer, and more livable. Typical work includes:

  • Building and improving affordable housing, and helping people out of homelessness
  • Upgrading informal settlements with water, sanitation, and safer construction
  • Neighborhood organizations improving parks, public spaces, and local safety
  • Disaster preparedness and community resilience programs
  • Preserving cultural heritage sites, traditions, and historic neighborhoods
  • Advocating for inclusive urban planning and accessible public transport
Before you give

How to check a community development charity before you give

The same rules apply to community development charities as to any other: confirm the organization is registered, read its integrity assessment (it measures disclosure, not impact), look at its filings, and check who runs it. Every organization listed here has a profile with exactly that. The five-step walkthrough is in our guide for donors.
