The ranking is based on IRS Form 990 filings, the annual information returns most tax-exempt organizations file with the IRS. The form includes reported revenue, expenses, assets, governance information and compensation paid to certain people, making it a public source for comparing large tax-exempt organizations' finances.

The figures reflect what each organization reported for its filing year, including total revenue, contributions, government grants, compensation, the number of employees and assets at the start and end of the year.
