# Nonprofits in Canada

The nonprofits segments measured in Canada, each drawn from that country’s own register. They are different populations, so they are set side by side and never added together.

The segments

## Side by side, never added together

| Segment | Drawn from | Median and spread | Scanned | Gated |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Charities](https://readinessindex.io/census/2026-Q4/ca/nonprofits/charities) The 1,000 largest registered charities in Canada by revenue, excluding universities, colleges, hospitals and school boards. | Canada Revenue Agency, on open.canada.ca | **57** · 19–75 | 567/1000 | 229 of 567 |

There is no single figure for nonprofits. Each segment is its own population, and a combined median would be a number about whichever segment has the most sites. How the Census is run, and what it can support, is on the [methodology page](https://readinessindex.io/census/methodology).
