Business and Community Donation Opportunities

Your partnership helps power our mission

thank you to our donors!

Because of your donations, Goodwill of Colorado is able to provide career training, job placement, education, and much more for people across Colorado.

THREE ways your donations MAKE AN IMPACT ON COLORADANS

HOST A DONATION DRIVE

Get your whole community involved and have fun doing it by hosting a donation drive! When you host a donation drive, Goodwill will come onsite with a mobile donation station giving community members the opportunity to drop off their gently used items in a quick and easy fashion. This turn-key event can be held through a variety of communities and businesses including residential neighborhoods, schools, office complexes, libraries, places of worship, chambers of commerce, and more.

HOST AN E-WASTE DRIVE

Through our partnership with Dell™ Reconnect, Goodwill recycles a wide range of electronics in a secure and safe manner. We love partnering with businesses and communities to host e-waste drives or add an e-waste component to general donation drives.

DONATE ITEMS FROM YOUR BUSINESS

Shops with an overflow of inventory, venues with unclaimed lost and found, offices going through a remodel, storage facilities with abandoned items, and more can free up space by donating to Goodwill. The Donated Goods teams will work with you to organize picks up – just contact Do**********@**************do.org to get started.
