What to Donate - Donations We Can Accept

Donations are critical to Goodwill’s ability to provide much-needed services to the local community. However, we regret that there are some items that we just cannot accept. When deciding what to donate to Goodwill, please take a minute to review the following lists before bringing your items to one of our 32 convenient donation sites. To estimate the value of your donation, please go to http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p561.pdf. Or to see what they items might
cost in a Goodwill Store, please visit www.goodwillpromo.org.

*Donors should also note the following changes in the tax deduction laws
under the Pension Reform Act of 2006.

* Donated items must be in good condition in order to claim a deduction,
and a qualified appraisal must accompany claims greater than $500.

* The law does not define "good condition," and the IRS says the
responsibility of defining the condition and value of the items is the
responsibility of the donor.
