What Get America Working Inc does
Mission
Educating the public and many key constituencies on policies to promote fuller employment. These include labor force participation through shifting the tax burden. (see 4a below)
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Educating the public and many key constituencies on policies and approaches to achieve fuller employment and increase labor force participation. Gaw's key policy recommendation is to use market signals to shift the tax burden in a revenue-neutral way, without raising net taxes or deficits, reducing taxes on things that are good for the economy and society (such as working and employing people) to things that are bad for them (such as unemployment and underemployment, resource waste, pollution, and energy inefficiency). Gaw's key constituencies include seniors, people with disabilities, women, people of color, immigrants and other groups disproportionately affected by unemployment. Gaw convened meetings with leaders of organizations representing these constituencies. We also published articles and opinion editorials in newsletters and developed white papers on key issues. Gaw uses its website, eblasts, and printed collateral to inform interested parties about its work.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $181k to $303k (+67%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
99% of GET AMERICA WORKING INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
