463 registered charities give a Vaughan mailing address
There is no count for Concord on its own: the charities are those of all of Vaughan. It works out to 1.3 per 1,000 residents, where the typical Ontario town has 1.4 and Canada’s 1.4. Counting by mailing address favors a service town, where the surrounding area’s charities get their mail, over the suburbs and countryside around it.
32.1%
In 2023, 32.1% of people in Ontario volunteered formally: one estimate for the whole province, likely between 31.0% and 33.2%, in a range of 25.2% to 40.3% across the ten provinces.
