Places to belong

1,638 registered charities are based in Edmonton, by mailing address

There is no count for Charlesworth on its own: the charities are those of all of Edmonton. Per 1,000 residents that makes 1.3; the median is 1.3 for Alberta towns and 1.4 for Canada’s. Counting by mailing address favors a service town, where the surrounding area’s charities get their mail, over the suburbs and countryside around it.

Volunteering

37.1%

No town-level count exists, so the page uses Alberta as a whole: 37.1% volunteered formally in 2023, between 35.1% and 39.2%, while the provinces span 25.2% to 40.3%.
