Charity Lists
Algorithmically generated lists of New Zealand charities, ranked by scores and metrics derived from publicly filed data with Charities Services. Lists are updated periodically and may change as new data becomes available.
How these lists are generated: All lists are produced algorithmically from data filed by charities in their annual returns with Charities Services. Rankings are based on CharityData's disclosed scoring methodology and do not constitute endorsements, recommendations, or assessments of operational quality.
Lists are subject to change at any time as new data is filed or our methodology is refined. A charity's position on any list reflects data-derived metrics only and should not be the sole basis for funding, donation, or partnership decisions.
