Confidential, wrap-around support—from housing to healthcare—to ensure job stability.
Massive ROI
Every $500 invested unlocks a minimum of $10,500 in additional wages for those we serve.
Systems Change
We use data to influence employer-level investments, strengthening the worker feedback loop.
A funding model built for stability and scale
WorkLife Partnership operates with a blended funding model that includes both philanthropic support and earned income.
While about 80% of WorkLife’s full budget comes from earned revenues, institutional funding partners have been a critical part of WorkLife’s growth and success since inception.
Philanthropic support allows us to test new ideas that advance our mission, scale programs so impact is realized more widely, and build technological capacity.
We have a record of exceptional financial stewardship with experience successfully managing a complex mix of funding sources.
Current investments include:
-
$Earned Revenues Fees paid by Employer Partners
-
GUnrestricted Grants General operating funds
-
RRestricted, Refundable Grants Program-specific funds
-
PPRI Funding enabling program development and expansion
Renalda’s Story
Renalda Woody, who is full-blooded Navajo of the Ta’chi’nii Clan from the Navajo Nation, works as a Client Coordinator at Community Bridges, Inc. in Phoenix, Arizona. She reached out to WorkLife Partnership for support as she worked through personal mental health struggles and practical challenges tied to moving into her own apartment after leaving a transitional sober living facility.
“I really appreciated that I had someone there in my corner.”
WorkLife helped her purchase necessities for her new apartment and encouraged her to connect with a therapist to begin addressing past trauma, anxiety, and fear. After going through recovery largely on her own, that support gave her both practical help and someone to stand beside her.
As conversations continued, it became clear that her job had become a source of hope and strength. Renalda shared how meaningful it is to support people facing the same pain she has known herself. She has also been inspired to pursue a bachelor’s degree in behavioral health at Grand Canyon University.
With her move to independent living behind her, Renalda is now focused on healing, rebuilding relationships with her six children, and continuing to move forward. Her story shows why WorkLife’s model matters: when support goes beyond traditional benefits, a job can become a pathway to stability, healing, and a brighter future.
