Trying to determine the largest organizations. For example, the American Red Cross boasts they have 550,000 volunteers. Tryi to get a ranking of sorts by volunteer size, not by the amount of money they have received.
Thank you for any help.

1. There appears to be no list, set out in the way that you would like. Therefore you would have to draw up your own list, relying on the claim of each particular charity. However, the alleged numbers may not be informative for comparison purposes, anyway, because people have different levels of commitment; and so the number of volunteer hours (if the data were available) would be a more useful comparator.

2. Here are the numbers of volunteers claimed made by some organisations ....
a) Salvation Army
"There are approximately 3.5 million volunteers registered with The Salvation Army in the U.S. "

b) American Red Cross
"Over 1.2 million people volunteered for the American Red Cross in FY2002."

c) United Way
"More than one million peopple volunteered for United Way nationwide last year."

d) YMCA
"Volunteers lead YMCAs and are central to their mission, ensuring each Y meets the unique needs of its community.
Volunteers 561,909"

e) Big Brothers Big Sisters
"Big Brothers Big Sisters serves 240,000 children, ages 6 through 18, in all 50 states."
