See the Cycle in Action.

The Cycle of Good is how donations and purchases are transformed into local opportunity. Donated goods are prepared for sale in Evansville Goodwill stores, and store revenue helps support our people, programs, and mission.

That support helps create opportunities through education, job training, employment services, and community resources. As people and families move forward, our communities become stronger and the Cycle of Good continues.

When you donate usable goods to Evansville Goodwill, those items can be given a new life through our stores. Revenue generated from donated goods helps support our local team members, organizational operations, and programs that help people learn, work, and thrive.

Donations also help keep usable goods in circulation and can reduce the amount of material that enters the waste stream.

Yes. The funds generated through Evansville Goodwill stores stay within our local 28-county territory and support our organization, programs, team members, and mission throughout the communities we serve.

That means when you donate or shop with Evansville Goodwill, you’re helping create opportunity right here at home.

It means that $0.82 of every dollar spent in Evansville Goodwill stores supports our people, programs, and mission.

Your purchases help employ local team members while supporting education, employment, and other services that strengthen our communities.

The Donation Impact Calculator provides planning estimates based on the items you select. It can estimate the fair-market value of your donation, potential tax effect, dollars directed toward mission programs, estimated service hours, and the approximate weight of reusable goods entering the donation stream.

The calculator is designed to help illustrate how a group of donated items can contribute to the broader Cycle of Good.

No. The calculator is provided for general planning and educational purposes only. Its estimated values and potential tax effects are not appraisals, guarantees, or tax advice.

Your actual tax rate, eligibility for a deduction, and potential tax savings depend on your individual circumstances. Please consult a qualified tax professional regarding your donation and tax situation.
