Places to belong

1,638 registered charities give a Edmonton mailing address

There is no count for Meyokumin on its own: the charities are those of all of Edmonton. That is 1.3 per 1,000 residents, against 1.3 in the typical Alberta town and 1.4 across Canada. Charities are placed by mailing address, which flatters service towns whose post office serves a region and undercounts suburbs and rural municipalities.

Volunteering

37.1%

In 2023, 37.1% of people in Alberta volunteered formally: one estimate for the whole province, likely between 35.1% and 39.2%, in a range of 25.2% to 40.3% across the ten provinces.
