THE CITELY 250 · 2026 EDITION
The 250 UK charities
funding free access
for the rest of the sector.
Citely Premium (£9.63 / 30 days) is reserved for the UK's largest charities — by donation income — and for organisations outside the charity sector (schools, MATs, councils). Their subscriptions keep Citely free for everyone else: small charities, grassroots non-profits, and the long tail of cause-led orgs who need AI-search visibility but can't yet afford another SaaS line-item.

The story
A Robin-Hood model for AEO.
The orgs with the largest fundraising operations get the same Citely tools as everyone else — but theirs come with the quiet act of underwriting the sector's free tier. It's leadership, not list-pricing.
The methodology
How the list is built.
Citely 250 is our best-effort ranking of UK charities by total donation income, informed by Charity Commission filings and cividata.org. Premium subscriptions (£9.63 / 30 days) from this list fund free access to Citely for smaller charities and non-profits across the UK. List is reviewed quarterly.
Why this is different
Citely is free for ~95% of UK charities.
The Citely 250 covers organisations who together account for the majority of UK charitable income. Their leadership keeps the tools free for the smaller charities and grassroots non-profits doing quietly transformative work.
