Where these figures come from
- Charities, their themes and their income: the register of charities, Welsh charities registered now, loaded by OpenEconomy on 2 November 2026.
- Given: for each charity, whichever shows more of what its accounts say each funder gave it and what the funder published to 360Giving, never the two added together. How we work out what funders give.
- Charities' accounts: read from the accounts they filed with the Charity Commission by Claude, an AI model, in OpenEconomy's accounts reader, up to 2 November 2026. AI can misread a table, so check a charity's accounts before relying on a figure.
- 360Giving: grants funders published to 360Giving, loaded by OpenEconomy on 5 November 2026. Only some funders publish there.
