Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
The charitable activities of the Good Work Institute are designed to strengthen collaboration; address legacies of unequal power; and encourage a transition to regenerative ecological and social systems.
Activities or mission (Part I)
To strengthen collaboration and encourage transition to regenerative systems.
-
The projects, programs, events and activities the Good Work Institute designs, supports and conducts work with individuals, initiatives, and organizations to foster participation, resilience, and belonging. We convene and facilitate conversations, events, workshops, trainings and cohort programs; provide fiscal sponsorship and advice to aligned initiatives and emerging projects; offer accessible physical space for meetings and events; and illuminate our mission in action through a variety of communications channels. This program is supported by contributions.Continued on Schedule O.The Organization's net income can vary significantly from year to year. This is due to the Organization receiving funds earmarked for fiscally sponsored projects that are recorded as revenue in the fiscal year they are received, and then disbursed as grants to those fiscally sponsored projects as requested, which may be in a subsequent fiscal year. The annual net income can be skewed based on a mismatch in timing of the receipt and disbursement of these funds to fiscally sponsored projects. The Organization makes its audited financial statements available upon request.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
