Overview
Mission
To engage and connect workers across industries by publishing educational and literary writing by and about them.

Publication of long-haul magazine, a quarterly print magazine. Long-haul magazine publishes materials written by workers about the nature of their work, their relationships with their coworkers, and their aspirations on and off the job.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 67% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
