570 registered charities are based in Halifax, by mailing address
There is no count for Fairview on its own: the charities are those of all of Halifax. It works out to 1.1 per 1,000 residents, where the typical Nova Scotia town has 1.1 and Canada’s 1.4. Charities are placed by mailing address, which flatters service towns whose post office serves a region and undercounts suburbs and rural municipalities.
37.0%
No town-level count exists, so the page uses Nova Scotia as a whole: 37.0% volunteered formally in 2023, between 34.3% and 39.8%, while the provinces span 25.2% to 40.3%.
