Places to belong

645 registered charities are based in Brampton, by mailing address

There is no count for Madoc on its own: the charities are those of all of Brampton. That is 0.8 per 1,000 residents, against 1.4 in the typical Ontario town and 1.4 across Canada. 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

32.1%

Across Ontario, 32.1% of people volunteered through an organization in 2023, a provincial estimate with a likely range of 31.0% to 33.2%; the lowest province sits at 25.2% and the highest at 40.3%.
