Ways to Make a Contribution

Monetary donations to Goodwill change lives. Your generous donations fund employment training and career services that prepare individuals with special needs for competitive employment. Your gift gives individuals faced with tremendous obstacles a chance to work, to earn a paycheck, and to gain a better quality of life filled with hope and dignity.

At Goodwill, we offer a chance, not a charity. We transform tax users into tax paying members of the local workforce.

  • Give Online. To make a safe and secure financial donation online please click here.
  • Give by Mail. Please send donations to:
    Goodwill Industries® of Southern NJ & Philadelphia
    2835 Route 73
    Maple Shade, NJ 08052
  • Give in Honor or Memory. If you would like to honor someone with a unique gift, please include the person’s name and type of gift (In Memory or In Honor) on the online donation form or on the check. Please include this person’s mailing address (or next of kin) so that we can send them an acknowledgement letter, too.
  • Real estate. You can make a gift of real estate to Goodwill and take the charitable deduction.
  • Securities. Avoid the taxes on appreciated securities by giving them to Goodwill. You can also receive a charitable deduction based on the fair market value of the stock.
  • Retirement Assets/Estate. You may want to consider a gift of a portion of your retirement assets as a legacy gift. This allows you to make a gift of your more highly taxed assets, leaving other valuable assets to your family. If this sounds like a good option for you, designate Goodwill Industries of Southern NJ, please discuss with your attorney or accountant. You can also designate Goodwill to receive a portion of your estate.

All Legal and Accounting firms may contact Stephen Castro, Chief Financial Officer at scastro@goodwillnj.org or 856-429-0200, ext. 99237.
