About The Goodwill Industries Keystone Area Foundation supports innovative services for individuals with disabilities and other barriers to independence, helping them to reach their full potential as workers and members of the broader community. The Foundation seeks financial support for the services provided by Goodwill and similar organizations through annual giving, planned giving and bequests. Established Jan. 12, 2004, the Foundation had its origin in the merger of the local Goodwill organizations in Harrisburg, Lancaster, Reading and the surrounding 22 counties in Pennsylvania to form Goodwill Industries Keystone Area. With the future of public funding uncertain, the combined Goodwill organization decided that the best way to ensure the continued availability of services to meet the needs of people with disabilities was to concentrate financial resources, fundraising skills and investment expertise in a new organization. The Goodwill Industries Keystone Area Foundation is classified by IRS as a tax-exempt 501c3 supporting organization, and is approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue as an Institution of Purely Public Charity.
The following stories are just a few examples of how Goodwill affects individuals’ lives. The Foundation exists to ensure that the futurewill provide that same promise to individuals for years to come.
