La Bonne Étoile Joliette is a Quebec-based poverty relief organization that channels 92.7% of its spending directly to programs — well above the 84.3% peer median — while growing revenue at a steady 5.4% annually. Despite operating with just a two-person board, the organization has maintained 37 years of uninterrupted CRA registration and clean compliance.
Our Verdict: A high-performing poverty relief charity that directs an outsized share of every dollar to programs, though the unusually small two-person board is a governance consideration donors should note.
