Places to belong

Montréal mailing addresses hold 3,830 registered charities

Charities are placed by mailing address, which flatters service towns whose post office serves a region and undercounts suburbs and rural municipalities.

Volunteering

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%.
