GoodDeeds

GoodDeeds Community Partnership Program

GoodDeeds is a donation drive program that creates partnerships with local nonprofits such as schools, sports teams, religious organizations, and others. By hosting a GoodDeeds donation drive, you can raise funds for your organization by collecting items that your supporters are happy to donate. The things you collect generate revenue to fund your projects and also generate revenue that funds Goodwill's free programs and services.

Our GoodDeeds calendar is commonly booked 4-6 weeks in advance. If you are very interested in a particular date, please submit your application today.

What items should be collected?

It is important to understand what is acceptable to collect and more importantly what items you will get paid for! If you sign up, your GoodDeeds agreement will contain detailed collection information.

What items cannot be collected?

Goodwill is not able to accept, or remove from your event location, any of the following: food, firearms, ammunition, explosives, fireworks, chemicals, hazardous materials, biohazards, mattresses, large appliances (ovens, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers), tube and projection televisions, tires, child car seats, cribs and other large equipment.

Are collected items tax deductible?

Typically, no. During a donation drive, the donations are being made to your organization, not Goodwill. Check with your accounting manager. Goodwill will not provide donation receipts for your event.
