Largest Sports & Recreation charities by reported annual revenue
Ticket sales, tournament proceeds, and venue costs sit in the same filing as charitable donations for sports charities built around event operations or adaptive athletic programs, which is part of why they can report revenue far above a weekend community league. This ranking only includes organizations that publish annual figures, so many local sports charities, and those where disclosure requirements are lighter, are missing from the count rather than placed behind larger peers. A high position here says nothing about coaching quality or how well a program serves its athletes.
