Largest Disaster Relief charities by reported annual revenue

A single emergency appeal can make a disaster relief charity's revenue spike one year and fall back the next, because response funding runs lumpy by nature rather than steady like most other categories on this list. A locally based response team can post a huge year during one disaster and a modest one the next without changing anything it does. This ranking reflects only organizations that publish annual figures, so many field responders, and groups where disclosure rules are lighter, are missing from the data. One year's revenue says nothing about the quality of a response.
