It鈥檚 the city that keeps on giving.

Victoria is being recognized as the most generous community in Canada for 2023, by GoFundMe.

The fundraising platform recorded more than 26,000 donations made in the provincial capital this year.

The list of Canada鈥檚 most generous communities was selected by measuring the number of donations per capita made through GoFundMe.

According to Ved Khan, senior corporate affairs manager with GoFundMe, with a population of almost 92,000, that results in a per capita donation rate of 28.62 per cent 鈥� or one in four Victorians.

鈥淲hether it鈥檚 helping a neighbour rebuild their home, contributing to a medical fundraiser, or supporting an important local organization, Canadians exemplified the meaning of giving. Their unwavering commitment to supporting one another has not only defined 2023 but has set the gold standard for what it means to be a compassionate community,鈥� said Khan.
