How does Goodwill use the revenue from the sales of goods to promote its mission?
Goodwill operates almost solely on the revenue from the sale of items that have been donated. We are very appreciative of each and every donation from the generous people who live in the communities served by Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee. The revenue from our retail sales is used to fund programs and services, almost all of them free, to clients who come to our Career Solutions Centers looking for help finding a job. We are proud that more than 85 percent of the proceeds from the sale of those donations are used to fund our mission.
