What changed.
Grades get awarded, flag rules get published, accounts get filed. This is the running record of everything that has changed on Charity Receipts, newest first. If a grade moves, you will read about it here before anywhere else.
Expensive fundraising rule published
Fires when the cost of raising funds tops 35% of donated and traded income. Live wherever we hold line-level spending data; it currently fires on Oxfam's 2024/25 accounts.
Fires when governance spend passes 8% of total spending, against a sector norm under 5%. Runs where we hold line-level spending data.
Income declining rule published
Fires when income sits more than 20% below where it was two years earlier. Needs at least three filed years of history.
Any two graded charities side by side: grades, verdicts, income, spending and flags on one page. 91 pairings, plus a picker.
Receipts move to the front door
The homepage is now the search box and the graded fourteen. Every graded charity also gets a shareable scorecard image.
Against Malaria Foundation graded A+
Independently verified GiveWell top charity, tiny overhead by design, with a credible cost-per-net and cost-per-life model.
Clear mission, strong finances, and a published efficiency figure. Just short of A+ because cause area, not execution, caps measurable impact.
British Heart Foundation graded A-
Strong research mandate and scale, lightly marked down for a retail-heavy model and a single deficit year.
Macmillan Cancer Support graded A-
Strong finances and a clear support mission; care and support are harder to quantify than research or lives saved.
Strong delivery and transparency, marked down for a deficit year and the usual large-charity efficiency drag.
Strong, well-run care provider; marked down slightly for a deficit year and care impact that resists per-pound measurement.
Strong delivery and transparency, dragged slightly by the cost of feeding a 1.1-million-member fundraising engine.
Strong delivery and a genuine reform track record, marked down for the 2020 Charity Commission findings and a deficit year.
Credible, well-governed development charity working through local partners; per-pound effectiveness is harder to verify.
Tight governance and a credible grant-making record, with the structural caveat that it is a middleman with a heavy fundraising cost.
Genuine frontline services and strong reach, tempered by a small deficit year and a large cost of raising funds.
Competent and reformed since 2020, but the human-rights findings and hard-to-quantify conservation impact keep it short of an A.
Real advice services and policy weight, held back by a deficit year and a fundraising line nearly the size of charitable activities.
Strong humanitarian arm. Mixed development record. Weak campaigning ROI. Reformed on safeguarding.
Five years of filed history plus full income and spending breakdowns from the 2024/25 accounts, verified against the Charity Commission register.
Search any of 170,000 registered UK charities and get the receipt: the three numbers that matter, plus red flags computed from filed accounts.
