What are community development charities?
Community development charities are registered nonprofit organizations whose primary purpose is strengthening a particular place: neighborhood organizations, local economic development groups, community centers, and civic improvement initiatives rooted in a town, district, or region. On GiveRadar they form the community development category, one of 16 shared categories applied across every country we cover.
What do community development organizations do?
Community development organizations work on the local fabric of a place, from its economy to its shared spaces. Typical work includes:
- Running neighborhood organizations and residents' associations
- Local economic development, small business support, and job creation
- Building and managing affordable housing and revitalizing neighborhoods
- Operating community centers and shared local facilities
- Improving public spaces such as parks, streets, and gathering places
- Microfinance and community lending for local enterprise

Common questions
What are community development charities?
Community development charities are registered nonprofits whose primary work is strengthening a specific place, from neighborhood organizations and community centers to local economic development and housing groups. GiveRadar lists them as the community development category, filterable by country, with registration details, financials where filed, and an integrity assessment for each.
What counts as community development?
Community development covers work tied to a particular place rather than a particular cause: revitalizing a neighborhood, supporting local businesses, running a community center, or improving shared public spaces. If an organization's mission is defined by where it works as much as by what it does, it usually belongs here; groups defined mainly by a single service, such as housing or food aid delivered anywhere, tend to sit in other categories.
