Places to belong

1,638 registered charities give a Edmonton mailing address

There is no count for The Hamptons 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.

Volunteering

37.1%

Between 35.1% and 39.2% of people in Alberta volunteered formally in 2023, 37.1% at the estimate’s middle; that is one figure for the province, which ranges from 25.2% to 40.3% nationally.
