Giving Back for 90 years
Seattle Goodwill was founded in 1923 by a group
of local business people who recognized a need
for training and employment for those without
job skills. The organization’s programs have
changed over the years to reflect the needs of the
community and emerging employment trends
while staying true to its mission of helping people
find jobs.
Our commitment to reuse and recycling remains at
the core of our operation. As stewards of the goods
donated to us, we sell items in ways to maximize
dollars going to our job training programs.
Today, Goodwill operates 23 retail stores and
employs 1,880 people in a 5-county region.
Last year, our 10 Job Training and Education
Centers provided free programs and services
to more than 8,500 individuals wanting
assistance to join the workforce.
It’s through the generosity of the community
that we are able to continue our critical work for
those needing our help. By donating goods to us
or making a financial gift and by shopping at our
stores, you are helping people gain employment
and training.
Building the future for generations to come
Goodwill’s 5-year Building the Future campaign,
which started 2 years ago, identified these goals as
critical to meeting the needs of our community:
2. Expand Seattle Goodwill’s workforce
development services geographically and
address needs of underserved demographic
groups.
1. Increase the number of people served by
expanding the range of relevant classes and
services available at all Seattle Goodwill Job
Training Centers.
3. Improve Goodwill facilities for an optimal
environment for students and employees.

and in life.

“Goodwill’s work in the neighborhoods we serve changes
lives at so many levels. We know that when people get jobs and
become self-supporting, it impacts the individual, their children
and extended families while also strengthening communities.” Barbara “b.g.” Nabors-Glass
Vice President of Job Training &
Education Programs

2013 Financial Information
Goodwill is a good steward of community resources.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Goodwill is accountable to the community for our
effectiveness in providing results-driven job training and education and for the efficiency with
which we use the resources you entrust us with. That’s why 86 cents of every available dollar we
raise goes to support the people who, even during a good economy, fall through the cracks of
society in finding and keeping good jobs – low-income single parents, immigrants, people of color
and those still learning to speak English. Here is how we are investing your support in their future,
and in the future of our community.
