Canada’s Most Generous Online Cities

Our third annual ranking of the Most Generous Cites in the US for Online Giving to charity sparked a number of questions via social media about which Canadian cities are most generous. It is more difficult to get an “apples-to-apples” comparison of Canadian cities as our ability to standardize and correct addresses in US cities is easier and some of the multi-language requirements of Canadian providences complicates the reporting. Because of the challenges the margin of error is greater, so we’ve been hesitant to report that data. But, the requests have been many so here is the Canadian top 25 based on per capita online giving for 2010:
