883 registered charities are based in Québec, by mailing address
There is no count for Cité-Universitaire on its own: the charities are those of all of Québec. Per 1,000 residents that makes 1.5; the median is 1.4 for Quebec towns and 1.4 for Canada’s. Charities are placed by mailing address, which flatters service towns whose post office serves a region and undercounts suburbs and rural municipalities.
25.2%
In 2023, 25.2% of people in Quebec volunteered formally: one estimate for the whole province, likely between 24.0% and 26.4%, in a range of 25.2% to 40.3% across the ten provinces.
