Your gift helps Kentuckians find pathways out of poverty.
Across Kentucky, communities are stronger when individuals and families have access to meaningful work, opportunities to build new skills, and the support needed to achieve long-term stability.
At Goodwill Kentucky, we believe that creating pathways out of poverty requires more than a single program or service; it requires a holistic commitment to barrier reduction and skill building.
Your donations support job training, second-chance employment, and holistic services that help thousands of Kentuckians find pathways out of poverty.
There are more ways to give than ever. Donate gently used goods to our stores, make a financial gift, give your time as a volunteer, schedule a commercial or home pickup, host a donation drive, or make an estate donation. However you choose to give, your support helps turn generosity into opportunity and makes a meaningful difference in communities across Kentucky.

TAX DEDUCTION INFO
If you itemize deductions on your federal tax return, you are entitled to claim a charitable deduction for your donations to Goodwill.
If you donate financially to Goodwill, keep a copy of the acknowledgment letter from Goodwill for tax purposes.
Market values are based on items in good condition and may vary from one region to another. Consult a local tax advisor who is familiar with market values in your region and keep the donation receipt(s) that is available at the time of your donation.
As a convenience to our donors, we have identified the following tax guides available from the Internal Revenue Service and other organizations that may assist you in valuing your donations for tax purposes. Goodwill endorses neither accuracy nor appropriateness of the valuations listed. Please consult with your tax advisor for actual deductibility of your donation.
