ACNC 2024 Annual Information Statement Data for Australian Charities

Weekly updated regulatory filings from charities registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission. The dataset includes information on programs, human resources, and finances submitted by charities for the 2024 reporting year. Data is sourced from the ACNC's mandatory Annual Information Statement, though registration with the regulator is voluntary.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking charity financial performance based on reported HR and financial information.
• Analyzing programmatic focus areas across the charity sector based on program descriptions.
• Tracking sector-wide trends using annually submitted information statements.
• Identifying charities for potential partnership or funding based on reported activities and size.

Strengths

• Data is updated weekly, ensuring relatively current information.
• Information is collected via a standardized annual statement from registered charities.
• The dataset excludes information from charities that have successfully applied to have their data withheld.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Financial details for small charities may be less detailed as they are not compelled to provide full financial reports.
