Places to belong

Edmonton mailing addresses hold 1,638 registered charities

There is no count for Greenview on its own: the charities are those of all of Edmonton. It works out to 1.3 per 1,000 residents, where the typical Alberta town has 1.3 and Canada’s 1.4. The CRA files each charity under its mailing address, so a service town collects its region’s charities and a suburb or rural municipality few.

37.1% of people in Alberta did formal volunteering in 2023, a province-wide estimate between 35.1% and 39.2%; across the ten provinces the rate runs from 25.2% to 40.3%.
