891 registered charities give a Hamilton mailing address
There is no count for Beasley on its own: the charities are those of all of Hamilton. That is 1.4 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.
32.1%
Between 31.0% and 33.2% of people in Ontario volunteered formally in 2023, 32.1% at the estimate’s middle; that is one figure for the province, which ranges from 25.2% to 40.3% nationally.
