What it reported doing in 2024
Fair care labs llc (fcl) - fair care labs tested and developed innovations in technology tools and products, as well as partnerships, aimed at improving access to benefits, raising employment standards, and improving quality of life for domestic and care workers across the country.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
