Montréal mailing addresses hold 3,830 registered charities
There is no count for Saint-Henri on its own: the charities are those of all of Montréal. That is 2 per 1,000 residents, against 1.4 in the typical Quebec 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.
25.2%
One figure covers all of Quebec: in 2023, 25.2% of its people gave time to an organization (between 24.0% and 26.4%), against a provincial range of 25.2% to 40.3%.
