Strive Living Society is a fast-growing Coquitlam, BC organization providing housing and poverty relief services, with revenue expanding from $33M to $61.7M in four years. Its 57.8% compensation ratio is unusually lean for a residential care provider, suggesting significant facility and housing infrastructure costs alongside staffing.
Our Verdict: A rapidly scaling poverty relief organization with strong program spending at 92.3%, lean compensation at 57.8% (below the 63.3% peer median), and exceptional 13.8% annual growth. Reserves at just 1.0 month are critically thin — the main vulnerability during a period of rapid expansion. Executive pay at bracket 6 is above the peer median but proportionate to a $62M operation.
