What are health charities?
Health charities are registered nonprofit organizations whose primary purpose is medical care, disease prevention, or health research: from hospitals, clinics, and hospices to mental health services, patient support groups, and medical research foundations. On GiveRadar they form the health category, one of 16 shared categories applied across every country we cover. Charities meeting social needs such as food or housing belong to the separate human services category, even where that work improves health.
What do health organizations do?
Health organizations work across the whole span from individual patient care to population-level prevention. Typical work includes:
- Running hospitals, clinics, hospices, and palliative care services
- Funding medical research into cancer, Alzheimer's, and other diseases
- Mental health services, counseling, and addiction recovery programs
- Supporting patients and families living with a specific disease or disability
- Vaccination, maternal health, and other public health programs
- Clean water, sanitation, and nutrition programs where they shape health outcomes

Common questions
What are health charities?
Health charities are registered nonprofits whose primary work is medical care, disease prevention, or health research, from hospitals, clinics, and hospices to mental health services and medical research foundations. GiveRadar lists them as the health category, filterable by country, with registration details, financials where filed, and an integrity assessment for each.
How do health charities differ from human services charities?
Health charities deliver or fund medical work: clinics, hospices, disease research, mental health services, and public health programs. Human services charities meet practical needs around it (food banks, homeless shelters, employment programs), and counseling and family support sit in the social services category. GiveRadar assigns each organization to one category by its primary mission, so a charity that runs both a clinic and a food program appears under whichever is its main stated work.
