Mission and programs · 2023

• Research: The Charity sponsors original research into safety and workforce matters affecting the crane and related industries. Examples of research studies conducted include: identification of common safety hazards in the crane industry, exploratory workforce research to understand several topics of interest, including the demographic makeup of load-handling employees, the state of the current recruitment pipeline, and how load-handling employees view their jobs and certification, the potential for virtual reality in certification testing; and the impact of OSHA's evaluation requirement on employers' efforts to qualify their crane operators.

  Expenses $79,940

• Grants & Scholarships: The Charity seeks to support financially those individuals and groups who might not otherwise have the opportunity to secure the training and certification necessary for employment in the industries it serves. This includes but is not limited to youth, retiring military and re-entering offenders.

  Expenses $49,146

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
