Please also provide a source.

In Israel, an organization that does “management, possession and support of Talmudi-Torah and schools” is paid roughly 550$ million per year (source: https://www.guidestar.org.il/organization/580514446)

    Probably the US military. They get around $750bn

      But militaries are a government organization, not a “non profit” organization which are private organization who don’t aim at reversing profit to their member/owner

        I think it meets the definition.

    “highest” in what sense? Also, funded by a single government only?

      From all non-profit organizations that you’re aware of, to which of them, the government pays the most?

        I see … Now on to the second question, I asked that for a reason: I am guessing the UN is probably (one of) the best-funded organizations, but it gets money from pretty much all governments, not just a single one.

    I think a dollar amount without reference to the size of the organization or the scale of its work is fairly meaningless.

        Ah, I thought when you said government-funded you meant our taxes go to it. My bad.

        Maybe the national park service then.
