Ranked NGOs
Methodology — Six Independently Weighted Pillars
Governance & Independence (20%). Board independence, conflict-of-interest policy, audit oversight, donor-concentration risk, and CEO review.
Transparency & Reporting (15%). Annual reports, audited financials, executive-compensation disclosure, funding-source transparency, and accurate solicitation materials.
Financial Health & Efficiency (20%). Program, administrative, and fundraising expense ratios, cost to raise 100 units of local currency, reserve adequacy, and revenue diversity.
Impact & Measurement (25%). Theory of change, outputs and outcomes, data quality, cost per outcome, external evaluation, and evidence of a learning loop.
Leadership, Planning & Resilience (10%). Strategic plan, succession readiness, crisis and continuity planning, and field reporting capability.
Culture, Ethics & Stakeholder Protection (10%). Whistleblower and safeguarding policies, workplace conduct, data privacy, beneficiary feedback, and compensation governance.
Red-flag overrides cap the overall score when specific failures are detected — e.g., missing financial statements, no conflict-of-interest policy, material sanctions, absent impact reporting, or misleading appeals.
Rating bands: 90+ Exceptional · 80–89 Strong · 70–79 Sound · 60–69 Moderate · 50–59 Weak · <50 High Risk.
About
The Pierre Ghawi Foundation Philanthropic Index is an independent, donor-facing composite rating aggregating six independently weighted pillars into a 100-point score with peer comparison across cause, size tier, and geography. It is designed to reduce the gap between perception and reality in charitable giving, and to give donors a structured way to decide where their money will do the most good.
This release covers 46,793 organizations active across the UK and overseas after removing all 9,098 red-flagged NGOs from the prior embedded database and restoring additional NGOs from Europe, Asia, Latin America, and other regions into the live map. Financial pillar scores remain registry-based preliminary assessments derived from the available source records.

About the methodology
Your score is a weighted composite across six independently weighted pillars (Governance 20%, Transparency 15%, Financial 20%, Impact 25%, Leadership, Planning & Resilience 10%, Culture, Ethics & Stakeholder Protection 10%). Active red flags cap the score at 75 regardless of pillar performance. Financial pillar values use registered income and spending in 2025 prices; other pillars are illustrative benchmarks derived from your registered profile (size, age, governance ratios, transparency signals).
