Donations to Goodwill may be tax-deductible (consult IRS Tax Guide 526 for deduction guidelines) as Goodwill Industries is a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit organization. Recent changes to IRS regulations states that all donations must be in good used condition or better in order to be tax deductible. Donors set the fair market value of their own donations. 2007 Valuation Guide

In 2008, over 4.4 million pounds of donated goods were processed by Goodwill Industries' employees and placed for sale in our stores. The $3.6 million in revenue from store sales was used to help fund our counseling, education, training and employment service programs.

Businesses may also arrange a regular donation program of overstocks or returned merchandise or schedule large-scale periodic donations of retail fixtures, office furniture and equipment. If your business is interested in such a program, please email Aimee Cartwright, Director of Operations, or call 304.525.7034.

Goodwill gladly accepts your donation of used vehicles and boats, which are sold by sealed bid to the highest bidder. Goodwill then uses the proceeds to fund important job training and employment programs for people with disabilities and other disadvantaging conditions that keep them from being successful in the workplace.

Beginning January 1, 2005, IRS allowed taxpayers to deduct only the proceeds charities get from the sale of vehicles. Within 30 days of the sale, donors will receive a written acknowledgement from Goodwill that includes the sale price of the vehicle
