Largest Youth Development charities by reported annual revenue
A neighborhood mentoring program and a national scouting-style federation are not really competing on the same financial terms, even though both work directly with young people: the federation's filing rolls up revenue from local troops or chapters together with the camps and facilities that come with operating at that scale. The list counts only organizations that publish annual figures, so many local youth programs, and those in countries with lighter reporting requirements, are simply not in the data. Size here reflects organizational structure, not how many young people a program actually reaches.
