Places to belong

Windsor mailing addresses hold 414 registered charities

There is no count for East Windsor on its own: the charities are those of all of Windsor. It works out to 1.5 per 1,000 residents, where the typical Ontario town has 1.4 and Canada’s 1.4. Charities are placed by mailing address, which flatters service towns whose post office serves a region and undercounts suburbs and rural municipalities.

Volunteering

32.1%

One figure covers all of Ontario: in 2023, 32.1% of its people gave time to an organization (between 31.0% and 33.2%), against a provincial range of 25.2% to 40.3%.
