International charities
International is one of GiveRadar's 16 charity categories, covering organizations whose primary work crosses borders: relief, development, and aid delivered outside the country where the charity is registered. The directory below lists registered international charities across 100+ countries, filterable by country, cause, and revenue. Categories are assigned from official registry classifications where published, otherwise from the charity's name, stated mission, and cause tags; charities cannot choose or buy their category.

What are international charities?
International charities are registered nonprofit organizations whose primary work happens across borders: emergency relief after disasters and conflict, long-term development programs, refugee support, and aid delivered in countries other than the one where the charity is registered. On GiveRadar they form the international category, one of 16 shared categories applied across every country we cover.
What do international aid organizations do?
International aid organizations span the full range from rapid emergency response to decades-long development partnerships. Typical work includes:
- Emergency relief across borders after disasters, conflict, and displacement
- Long-term development programs in water, sanitation, agriculture, and livelihoods
- Global health work, from medical supplies to disease prevention programs
- Refugee assistance, resettlement, and family reunification
- Cross-border education and child sponsorship programs
- Microfinance and economic development in low-income regions
How to check an international charity before you give
The same rules apply to international charities as to any other: confirm the organization is registered, read its integrity assessment (it measures disclosure, not impact), look at its filings, and check who runs it. Every organization listed here has a profile with exactly that. The five-step walkthrough is in our guide for donors, and the most-documented organizations in this category are on the international charities list.
Frequently asked questions
What are international charities?
International charities are registered nonprofits whose primary work crosses borders: emergency relief, development programs, refugee support, and aid delivered outside the country where the charity is registered. GiveRadar lists them as the international category, filterable by country, with registration details, financials where filed, and an integrity assessment for each.
How are international charities different from local charities?
An international charity is registered and files its accounts in one country but runs its programs in others, so you check it the same way you would a local one: at its home registry. Its profile here shows where it is registered, what it has filed, and who runs it; the difference is that the work you are funding happens far from where the paperwork lives, which makes that paperwork worth reading before you give.
