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.
