Ways to Donate

When you give a financial gift to Goodwill, you help build brighter futures for people in your community.

Philanthropic Support

There are several ways to support Goodwill through your financial donations.

Annual Gifts
Annual gifts provide Goodwill with the flexibility to invest employment services and programs to meet the current needs of job seekers and employers. When you give, whether a one-time gift, recurring gift or pledge, you directly assist job seekers through training and support programs.
Donate by Mail
Whether it’s a $5 bill or a $5,000 check, monetary gifts sustain our organization. Your support today means more individuals are empowered to help themselves, their families and their communities tomorrow. We are so grateful for your generosity and dedication to changing lives. Don’t wait – please give today.

Donations by mail may be sent to:

Monthly Giving
For as little as $10 a month, you can ensure that urgent employment support services are available to people in need in your community. Giving monthly is easy and convenient!  

Your monthly gift goes further to help individuals and families rebuild their lives through the power of work—and using your credit card for automatic monthly credit card donations or electronic fund transfers means we won’t have to send you reminders, so more of your donation will support our life-changing programs. 

Recurring gifts may be made through the online giving form or by contacting Eileen Bunn, Mission Advancement Manager.

Matching Gifts
Do you work for a matching gift company? Matching gifts are an excellent way to make your gift go farther than it could on its own. Many companies are willing to match an employee’s financial contribution to Goodwill’s Annual Fund dollar for dollar. Some companies will even double or triple your gift. Please contact Eileen Bunn, Mission Advancement  Manager. or your company’s human resources office to learn how to maximize the impact of your gift to Goodwill.
Planned Giving
Planned gifts are a perfect way to make a long-lasting impact on your community. Planned gifts are ideal for those who wish to support Goodwill, but do not currently have the flexibility to make an outright gift at the level they wish to give. As you consider your estate plans, naming Goodwill as a beneficiary is a meaningful way to continue your legacy while supporting one of the nation’s oldest and most impactful workforce development organizations.

There are many ways to make an impact through a planned gift, including:

  • A financial gift or percentage of your estate designated to Goodwill in your will or living trust.
  • A gift of retirement assets, such as pension plans or IRAs, may allow you to give more than you thought possible, while eliminating taxes that may otherwise largely consume these assets.
  • Gifts of life insurance policies or proceeds you may no longer need.

Please contact Mission Advancement Manager Eileen Bunn to discuss planned giving options in support of Goodwill.
