This ranking of the top 100 charities is based on cash support — the total value of money and stock received as gifts from individuals, corporations, and foundations. The Chronicle of Philanthropy focused exclusively on cash and stock because that money comes directly from individuals. It excludes government grants, donated products, and contributions to donor-advised funds.
