UK charities
The register of charities for England and Wales, kept by the Charity Commission, treated like the American nonprofit data: one page per charity with its income and spending over the years, its trustees (each a person page that lists every charity they serve), what it does and where, and a cross-reference to the US nonprofits, grants and officers that match it.
171,991 registered charities and 186,956 removed ones (358,947 in all), reporting £109.7bn of income between them in their latest year; 832,829 trustees as people; 1,253,226 annual returns. 1,107 charities have a US counterpart on furp.org (1,741 links), 1,317 received grants from US foundations, and 647 trustees share a name with an officer or director of the matched US nonprofit.

What this covers, and what it doesn't
- England and Wales only. Scotland (OSCR) and Northern Ireland (CCNI) publish their own registers, not loaded here.
- The register has no pay for individuals: it records, per charity, the income and spending reported to the Commission, the number of staff paid over £60,000 (in bands) and whether trustees were paid.
- Trustees carry the Commission's own trustee number, so one person who serves several charities is one page. Matches to US people need the same name on a US nonprofit that is itself matched to the charity (by website, an “American Friends of” name, or the same name), never the name alone.
- US matches say how they were made and how sure they are; same-name-only matches are shown as possible and are often different organizations. How the matching works.
