Program accomplishments

  • Technology - Joined in 2024, WorkIt Labs was born out of the vision of worker leaders who recognized the need for technology built for and with those on the frontlines of worker organizing. From these early conversations, our mission was born - to design, develop, and deliver technology that puts power in the hands of workers. Today, we reach over 500K workers worldwide through our 25 partnerships with unions and worker organizations.
    Expenses $859,829 · revenue $880,986
  • Innovation Fund - The Innovation Fund is our signature program and the primary way we source and fund experiments. It is a national prize competition that we host up to three times a year. We leverage a fellowship model where fellows include entrepreneurs, worker organizers, non-profit leaders, and/or public sector leaders who receive a monthly stipend and support resources. At the end of the fellowship, winners are selected for up to 200,000 in additional funding for their new ideas about work and workers.
    Expenses $682,783 · grants $361,200
  • Design Sprint - In 2023, The Workers Lab ran a design sprint to explore how flexible work can be quality work. All work, whether it is standard employment or gig and contract work, should allow workers flexibility without sacrificing quality. We invested over 1 million to demonstrate how to make this possible. In 2024, this Design Sprint on Quality Flexible Work will begin to sunset as we ideate on both the possibility of scale long-term and a new design sprint.
    Expenses $351,085
