A cleaner home also means a cleaner environment. By decluttering your home and donating to Goodwill, you’re helping our planet by giving new life to items which could otherwise end up in the landfill. Through our retail thrift stores, Outlet locations, and our recycling partners, Goodwill is committed to finding a good home for each and every item you donate.

Donations and your taxes
Goodwill of Colorado is a charitable 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. You will be offered a donation receipt every time you donate, which provides a form for you to list each item and assign it a value. Because no goods or services were provided in exchange for your material goods, your donations may be tax-deductible. Federal law states that donated clothing and household goods must be in “good usable condition or better” in order to qualify for a tax deduction. IRS regulations prohibit charitable organizations from establishing or affirming the value of contributions. Because Every tax situation is unique, please consult with your tax professional.
