The largest nonprofits in the United Kingdom are also some of the leading implementers of development and humanitarian activities across the world.
Our findings show that 27 nonprofits registered with the Charity Commission — the primary U.K regulator — had incomes over £50 million. One additional organization with a qualifying level of income — Mercy Corps Europe — is registered in the U.K. only with OSCR, the Scottish charity regulator.
Those 28 charities had cumulative earnings of £6.1 billion (almost $8.1 billion) in their latest fiscal year — either 2022 or 2023 — highlighting the important role they play and the influence they hold in the global development sphere.
