Donations and Volunteerism
Charitable donations, volunteering time to charitable and non-profit
organizations, and helping people in need directly help build community.
Albertans give generously of their time and money for charitable causes.
The average annual donation for Alberta was $863 in 2013, the highest in
the country and far outpacing the Canadian average of $531.
The total amount donated by Albertans to charitable and non-profit
organizations was $2.4 billion in 2013, double the $1.2 billion that was
donated in 2004. By comparison, the total amount of donations all
Canadians made rose from $10.4 billion to $12.8 billion, an increase of
23%.
In 2013, the volunteerism rate of Albertans in support of schools,
charitable and other non-profit organizations was 50.1 per cent compared
to 43.6 per cent in Canada. The total annual volunteer hours were 262
million hours or 161 hours per volunteer.
