About Strive

Strive is dedicated to transforming financial resiliency for Canadians. It has a mission of enabling Canadians to build financial resiliency at scale. Recognizing that knowledge does not automatically lead to behaviour change, Strive has developed a unique, goal oriented, peer to peer program to provide high impact and low cost financial resiliency capacity building.

Strive has been built with the following theory of change in mind:

1. Our current level of inequality is the result of the ecosystem that has emerged from the institutions, organizations, policies and programs we have collectively created

2. Meaningful progress on inequality will require a fundamental shift to the entire ecosystem including those institutions, organizations, policies and programs

3. A fundamental shift to our ecosystem can be accelerated by people advancing their individual interests, collectively pushing against the existing ecosystem and creating accountability for meaningful and effective change

Strive has been designed with the belief that there is a better way, that we can learn from each other and that we can work together to create an economic and socially thriving society.  It emerged out of the Economic Inequality program at The Banff Centre.
