Vaughan mailing addresses hold 463 registered charities
There is no count for Maple on its own: the charities are those of all of Vaughan. That is 1.3 per 1,000 residents, against 1.4 in the typical Ontario town and 1.4 across Canada. Charities are placed by mailing address, which flatters service towns whose post office serves a region and undercounts suburbs and rural municipalities.
32.1%
No town-level count exists, so the page uses Ontario as a whole: 32.1% volunteered formally in 2023, between 31.0% and 33.2%, while the provinces span 25.2% to 40.3%.
