Saskatoon mailing addresses hold 621 registered charities
There is no count for University on its own: the charities are those of all of Saskatoon. That is 2 per 1,000 residents, against 2 in the typical Saskatchewan 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.
36.6%
In 2023, 36.6% of people in Saskatchewan volunteered formally: one estimate for the whole province, likely between 33.9% and 39.5%, in a range of 25.2% to 40.3% across the ten provinces.
