List of wealthiest charitable foundations
- List of wealthiest charitable foundations
This is a list of wealthiest charitable foundations and consists of the 25 largest charitable foundations, private foundations and other charitable organizations.
Only nonprofit foundations are listed here. Funds that are part of a larger company are not included (such as holding companies, which typically hold the majority of outstanding stock of other companies).
The entries are ordered by the current size of the organization's total financial endowment (that is, the current total value of invested donations). The endowment value is an estimate measured in United States dollars, based on the exchange rates on March 4 2008. Due to fluctuations in investment values and exchange rates, this list only represents the valuation of each foundation on a single day. The combined net worth of this list is US$219.8 billion.
