About:
Working Assets was established in 1985 to help busy people make a difference in
the world through everyday activities like talking on the phone. Every time a customer
uses one of Working Assets’ donation-linked services (long distance, mobile and
credit card), the company donates a portion of the charges to nonprofit groups working
to build a world that is more just, humane, and environmentally sustainable. To
date, $60 million has been raised for progressive causes. The company
also serves as a strong political force, dedicated to giving its customers the opportunity
to speak out on critical public issues through its web site and monthly phone bill.
