Places to belong

Calgary mailing addresses hold 1,993 registered charities

Charities are placed by mailing address, which flatters service towns whose post office serves a region and undercounts suburbs and rural municipalities.

The 2023 survey gives Alberta one volunteering rate for all its towns, 37.1% (between 35.1% and 39.2%), while provinces run from 25.2% at the low end to 40.3%.
