Every country maintains its own charity register. Different formats. Different APIs. Different standards. If you're building an application that needs charity data, you're facing months of integration work—just to cover a single country.
We built Charity Global to solve this.
The Problem We're Solving
Try to answer a simple question: "Is this charity legitimate?"
In the UK, you'd check the Charity Commission. In the US, it's the IRS 990 database. Ireland has the Charities Regulator. Australia has the ACNC. Each with its own data format, access method, and quirks.
For developers building donation platforms, fintech apps, or corporate giving solutions, this fragmentation is a nightmare. For charities trying to be found by donors worldwide, it means invisibility.
One API. Every Registered Charity.
Charity Global aggregates verified charity data from official government registers into a single, unified API. We normalise the data, verify it against source registers, and serve it in milliseconds.
What we offer:
- Verified data — Direct from official charity regulators
- Sub-200ms response times — Edge-cached for speed
- RESTful API — Simple JSON responses, predictable endpoints
- Unified schema — Same data structure regardless of source country
Starting with the UK
We're launching with comprehensive coverage of 300,000+ UK registered charities from the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Every charity. Every registration number. Every piece of public data.
This isn't a sample or subset. It's the complete register, updated regularly, accessible in milliseconds.
Expanding Globally
The UK is just the beginning. We're actively building integrations with charity registers across:
- European Union — 27 countries
- North America — USA and Canada
- Oceania — Australia and New Zealand
Our goal: every regulated charity in the world, accessible through one API.
For Developers
If you're building applications that need charity data—donation platforms, payment processors, corporate giving tools, GiveTech apps—we're building the infrastructure layer you need.
No more maintaining integrations with multiple government APIs. No more parsing inconsistent data formats. No more wondering if a charity is legitimate.
For Charities
Your charity is already in our database from official registers. But you can claim your profile to ensure your information is accurate, complete, and compelling to potential donors.
Visibility matters. When developers build apps using our API, they're connecting donors to charities. Make sure those donors find you.
Our Commitment
We're not just building a data platform. We're committed to the sector we serve.
10% of our profits go to WWF to protect the critically endangered Hawksbill Sea Turtle. We believe in practicing what we preach—supporting the causes that matter.
