Charity 250 Index

The Charity 250 Index measures income trends in the largest charities not covered by the Charity 100 Index. It maps their income across five different streams – legacies, voluntary, grants and fees, investment, and gross trading.

Charities can use the Index to measure their own performance against that of their peers, and to track revenue trends in the sector as a whole.

Rankings are based on average income over the last three years’ received accounts. Membership of both indexes is reviewed every spring to take into account new charities or ones that it has previously not been possible to obtain accounts for.

At present, the charities contained within the 250 Index have average incomes between £39.9m and £10.7m.

An update of the Charity 250 Index appears every other month in Charity Finance magazine.
