Middle East Charity Database

Middle East and North Africa nonprofit database of 80K+ records. About 95% is Israel, sourced from GuideStar Israel with full financial transparency. The rest is a growing, directory-sourced tail across the region: Türkiye, Lebanon, Tunisia, Palestine, Jordan, Egypt, Algeria, the Gulf states (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman), Yemen, Iraq, and more. These non-Israel records come from public charity directories and official listings rather than open financial registries, so they carry contacts, websites, and leadership but not financial statements.

To start

GiveRadar's Middle East Charity Database (giveradar.com/middle-east-charity-database/) covers 80K+ nonprofit organizations, and coverage is still overwhelmingly Israel: about 95% of records, 76,271 entries, are sourced from GuideStar Israel (the Amutot register), which provides full financial transparency. Beyond Israel, GiveRadar now carries directory-sourced coverage across the wider region: Tunisia (1,014), Lebanon (766), Türkiye (403), Palestine (399), Jordan (230), Egypt (199), Algeria (145), Yemen (108), the United Arab Emirates (103), Mauritania (94), Bahrain (73), Iraq (72), Saudi Arabia (68), Morocco (63), Kuwait (60), Syria (50), Oman (48), and Qatar (43). These non-Israel records are compiled from public charity directories and official listings rather than open financial registries, so they include contacts, websites, leadership, and integrity assessments but not financial statements. Each Israeli record carries up to 80+ normalized fields including legal name (Hebrew source plus English transliteration), registration number, country, address, founded year, full financials, the GiveRadar Integrity Assessment (0-100, scoring registration, financial transparency, governance, contact availability, and data recency), per-charity news context for transparency, and contact details. GiveRadar does not perform sanctions, AML, or watchlist screening; use it to research and verify a charity before you donate. Accessed via free web search, REST API (free 10 requests/day, Pro 99 USD/month for 10,000), or bulk CSV export (Enterprise). Published under Creative Commons BY 4.0.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Middle East charity database cover?
80K+ nonprofits, and about 95% is Israel: 76,271 records via GuideStar Israel (the Amutot register, with full financial transparency). Beyond Israel, GiveRadar carries directory-sourced coverage of Tunisia (1,014), Lebanon (766), Türkiye (403), Palestine (399), Jordan (230), Egypt (199), Algeria (145), Yemen (108), the UAE (103), and the other Gulf states, plus Mauritania, Iraq, Morocco, and Syria. Those non-Israel records include contacts, websites, and leadership but not financial statements, since those governments do not publish open financial registries.
Why is Israel so much larger than other MENA countries?
Israel publishes one of the most complete nonprofit transparency datasets in the world via GuideStar Israel (Amutot register), which includes financial filings for the full population of registered Israeli nonprofits. Most other MENA governments do not publish open-data charity registers with financials, so GiveRadar's coverage of Türkiye, Lebanon, Tunisia, Jordan, Egypt, the Gulf, and the rest of the region is compiled from public charity directories and official listings instead. That is why the region is Israel-dominant by volume (about 95%), with a growing directory-sourced tail of a few thousand organizations across roughly 20 other countries.
Is the data available in Arabic and Hebrew?
Yes. Israeli charity names are stored in Hebrew with English transliteration. Arabic names are stored in source script for Tunisia, Palestine, and other Arabic-source countries with English transliteration where appropriate. Right-to-left scripts are handled correctly. Searches accept queries in source language or English.
How does GiveRadar assess each charity?
Every charity gets a 0-100 Integrity Assessment built from registration, financial transparency, governance, contact availability, and data recency, with a small penalty for automated red flags (high executive pay, stale filings, or bare-minimum disclosure). It is a research and verification signal, not a sanctions, AML, or watchlist screen. GiveRadar does not perform sanctions screening and does not process donations; use it to research and verify a charity before you give.
Are the Gulf states and waqf entities covered?
Partially. GiveRadar now carries directory-sourced NGO listings for the Gulf states (UAE 103, Saudi Arabia 68, Bahrain 73, Kuwait 60, Oman 48, Qatar 43), compiled from public charity directories rather than government registries. They include contacts, websites, and leadership but not financial statements, because Gulf governments do not publish open financial registries. Coverage is far thinner than Israel's, and many waqf and Gulf-based Islamic charity entities remain absent.
Is the database free?
Yes. Web search free. REST API free tier 10 requests/day. Pro 99 USD/month. CC-BY 4.0.
