DONATE.
SHOP. CREATE JOBS.


Goodwill’s mission – to improve the quality of life for people with barriers to self-sufficiency through the Power of Work – starts with donations from generous donors like YOU! When you donate your gently-used items to Goodwill, they are sold in our retail stores and online. With the money raised from these sales, we are able to fulfill our nonprofit mission. Your donations also help to reduce waste by giving old items a new life!

Goodwill Donation Valuation Guide

How much can you deduct for the gently used goods you donate to Goodwill? The IRS allows for deductions of fair market value for gently-used items in good condition or better. When determining “fair market value”, the quality of the item when new and its age must be considered. Our donation valuation guide displays prices ranging from good to like-new for commonly donated items.

To determine the fair market value of an item not on our valuation guide, estimate 30% of the item’s original price.
