Charitable Foundations & Aid
Evidence-led philanthropy, guided through Charity Atlas Worldwide's registry-verified directory of 850+ organisations.
Choosing where to give is harder than it should be. Charity Atlas Worldwide brings the world's major humanitarian, health, education and environmental organisations together in one searchable directory, with each profile built from official charity registries and published annual reports. You can explore a charity's history, its reported revenue and funding, the countries it operates in and the impact it has achieved — all checked against sources such as the IRS, the UK Charity Commission, the ACNC and Candid.
Markscorp helps you put that information to work. Whether you are an individual wanting to support a cause close to your heart, a family formalising its giving, or a business building a community programme, we guide you through the atlas, help you compare organisations on the facts, and connect you with charities whose work genuinely matches what you want to achieve. The directory also tracks urgent aid areas around the world, so when a crisis unfolds you can direct help where it is needed most, quickly and with confidence.
