Every dollar in, every dollar out. We’re a new nonprofit, and we don’t have a decade of annual reports to point to yet. What we do have is a commitment to showing you exactly where the money goes – not in vague terms, but in actual numbers. If something is missing from this page, it means we haven’t produced it yet. Ask us and we’ll tell you when it’s coming.

Our Relationship with NYPOT
Full disclosure: ErgoLife Foundation’s founder also operates NYPOT, a company that sells ergonomic chairs. When we link to NYPOT products on our educational pages, ErgoLife earns a commission. That revenue directly funds our free programs.
We recommend NYPOT products because we believe in them – but we also recommend products from other companies when they’re the better fit. Our board reviews this relationship to ensure it serves our mission, not the other way around.
How We Fund Our Work
ErgoLife Foundation is funded through individual support, grants, and affiliate revenue from ergonomic product recommendations. No investors, no shareholders, no sales targets. We believe in full disclosure of our funding sources – no sponsor or affiliate partner influences our educational content or recommendations.
