570 registered charities give a Halifax mailing address
There is no count for South End on its own: the charities are those of all of Halifax. Per 1,000 residents that makes 1.1; the median is 1.1 for Nova Scotia towns and 1.4 for Canada’s. 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.
37.0%
One figure covers all of Nova Scotia: in 2023, 37.0% of its people gave time to an organization (between 34.3% and 39.8%), against a provincial range of 25.2% to 40.3%.
