fter an absence of seven years, a venerable name is back on Forbes’ annual top charities list: United Negro College Fund, the nearly 80-year-old Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that raises money for scholarships and for private historically Black colleges and universities. UNCF took in $354 million in donations--nearly six times the amount in the last pre-pandemic year of 2019—enough to rank No. 58 on the 2023 list. Much of that growth came from a renewed push to attract large donors drawn, amid concerns over racial equity, to the role played by HBCUs and UNCF in advancing economic mobility.
Overall, the nation’s top 100 charities received more than $61 billion in private donations in their most recently reported fiscal years, a 4% increase. That bucked a 3% decline in all charitable giving among the country’s one million-plus nonprofits, according to the Giving USA Foundation, and suggests the power of brand-names in the not-for-profit sector. The take of the Forbes 100 alone amounted to one-eighth of all charitable giving. The cutoff for this year’s list—No.100—was $186 million in donations, up from $181 million in 2022.
Our list reflects the most recently reported fiscal year for each charity. The rankings are based solely on private contributions received. Government grants, payments for services and investment returns don’t count, though each organization’s total revenue is noted. The full list below can be sorted by the category of mission—for example, domestic needs, international needs, health or youth. Each charity’s name links to a separate page providing even more data, including individual financial efficiency ratios and how much pay its highest compensated individual received.
