Donate Money
Financial gifts to Goodwill are a vitally important source of revenue to support our work on behalf of people with special needs. Donors may consider several methods of giving, some of which may have financial and/or tax benefits.
- A cash contribution to Goodwill's Annual Fund helps Goodwill carry out its mission all year long. Checks can be made to "Goodwill of Southwestern Pennsylvania" and mailed to: Goodwill Annual Fund, The Robert S. Foltz Building, 2600 East Carson Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15203. Contributions are tax deductible.
- Goodwill also can receive contributions through the United Way Contributor Choice number 140.
- Naming Goodwill in your will may reduce estate taxes and allow donors to leave a legacy to people with special needs.
- Goodwill can provide Charitable Gift Annuity opportunities for donors or can be named as a beneficiary in private retirement plans such as IRAs or life insurance policies.
Special Events
Power of Work Awards – Since 1997, Goodwill of Southwestern Pennsylvania's “signature event” has been the annual Power of Work Awards program, which recognizes employers’ efforts to hire and accommodate employees with special needs. The competition is open to any type or size of employer. Nominations are evaluated by a group of judges from the community and winners are honored at a recognition ceremony in October.
Golf for Goodwill – This first-class golf outing at Treesdale Golf and Country Club has quickly become a Goodwill tradition since it began in 2001. Through the generosity of sponsors and golfers it raises a significant amount of money each year to support the many job training and employment programs that Goodwill provides for people with special needs.
