About this category

What are social services charities?

Social services charities are registered nonprofit organizations whose primary purpose is direct welfare support for individuals and families: family support programs, counseling services, child and family welfare work, and care for people in difficulty. On GiveRadar they form the social services category, one of 16 shared categories applied across every country we cover; closely related direct-aid work such as food, housing, and employment support sits in the neighboring human services category, and in practice the two overlap.

What they do

What do social services organizations do?

Social services organizations provide the personal, often one-to-one support that helps individuals and families through difficulty. Typical work includes:

  • Family support and parenting programs
  • Counseling, casework, and psychosocial support
  • Child and family welfare services, including foster care support
  • Support services for older people and their caregivers
  • Domestic violence support and crisis services
  • Casework and advocacy for people navigating welfare systems

FAQ

Common questions

What are social services charities?

Social services charities are registered nonprofits whose primary work is direct welfare support for individuals and families, from counseling and family support to child welfare and care services. GiveRadar lists them as the social services category, filterable by country, with registration details, financials where filed, and an integrity assessment for each.

What is the difference between social services and human services charities?

The two labels overlap, and different national registries draw the line differently. On GiveRadar, social services covers welfare-oriented support such as counseling, family support, and care services, while human services is a separate category that includes broader direct aid such as food, housing, and employment programs. If you are looking for a specific kind of organization, it is worth browsing both categories.
