Goodwill Industries International is a leading social enterprise nonprofit powered by a network of 150 high-performing local Goodwill organizations across North America. Together, we operate at scale by advancing resale, workforce development, and circular solutions through shared systems and local execution. We are America’s neighbor: 83% of the U.S. population resides within ten miles of their local Goodwill. Donated goods power the Goodwill resale engine, generating revenue that is reinvested into localized workforce development programs — the core of our work. At the same time, our circular resale solutions support sustainability by extending product life, diverting billions of pounds of materials from landfills annually, and building greater transparency and accountability across reuse.

Year Up is a national 501(c)3 workforce development organization committed to ensuring equitable access to economic opportunity, education, and justice for all young adults—no matter their background, income, or zip code. Employers face a growing need for talent while millions of talented young adults lack access to meaningful careers. These inequities only further perpetuate the opportunity gap that exists in our country—a gap that Year Up is determined and positioned to close. Year Up has served more than 45,000 young adults across the United States since its founding in 2000 and has been voted one of the “Best Non-Profits to Work For” by The NonProfit Times.
