Places to belong

Montréal mailing addresses hold 3,830 registered charities

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.

The whole province shares one estimate: 25.2% of people in Quebec volunteered formally in 2023 (between 24.0% and 26.4%), where the ten provinces run from 25.2% to 40.3%.
