Financial Donations
People served by Goodwill work every day to overcome barriers
that many of us will never have to face. Goodwill’s investment
in training, counseling, job placement and other vital services
leads to dividends of independence, self-confidence and a positive
impact on the community.
Every dollar you invest in Goodwill returns dividends of hope,
achievement and personal success to the heart of your community.
In fact, 90 cents of every dollar raised directly is reinvested
back into our mission.
Ways to Contribute
There are several ways in which you can provide funding to help
support Goodwill’s mission and programs. Whichever method
works best for you, the professionals at Goodwill will assist
you in making an appropriate and satisfying gift. Gifts are tax
deductible as provided by law.
Cash
Cash gifts may include check or credit card (MasterCard or Visa).
Non-Cash Gifts
Gifts of property or other non-cash items will be converted to
cash as soon as practicable, unless restricted by the donor.
Gifts of Stock/Securities
Donate gifts of stock/securities by having your broker transfer
them to Goodwill Indutries of the Heartland. You will receive
a charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value of
the securities at the time the gift is made if they’ve
been held for more than 12 months.
Life Insurance
Donors can contribute a life insurance policy by assigning the
paid-up policy to Goodwill as the owner or naming Goodwill as
the primary or successor beneficiary.
Planned Gifts
There are a variety of planned gift vehicles. A planned gift
can provide essential long-term resources to Goodwill while offering
donors, and/or their heirs, significant benefits and greater control
of their assets. Planned gifts should always be designed with your
financial or legal advisor.
Matching Gifts
Many employers have a program that will match your gift with your
favorite charity and often times this matched gift is equal to
the amount you donate. Please inquire if your company has a matching
gift program.
