About PrideWork

We believe work is good. We believe losing benefits is not failure. We believe you deserve clarity, not fear.

Our Mission

PrideWork exists to replace fear with clarity. Too many people avoid work because they're afraid of losing benefits. But the real answer isn't complicated—it just needs to be explained clearly.

We help you understand exactly what happens if you work more: how your income and supports interact, where overlaps exist, and why increased independence is not failure—it's success.

Our tool is transparent. Our math is simple. Our messaging is honest. We don't try to convince you to work; we just show you the real numbers so you can decide.

Our Values

Clarity Over Complexity

We show you the real numbers. No hidden assumptions. No false precision. Just honest estimates that help you plan.

Dignity Over Optimization

We don't try to extract maximum benefits. We respect that you're capable of making your own choices, even if they're not mathematically "optimal."

Transparency Over Secrecy

Everything we calculate is based on published rules. We explain our assumptions. You deserve to understand how the numbers work.

Hope Over Fear

Work is possible. You are capable. The system can be navigated. We help you see what's actually true instead of what you're afraid might be true.
