Types of Donations

Equities: You can get a charitable tax deduction for the current fair market value of any appreciated stock you have held for more than one year. Call or email the Executive Vice President  at 1-800-432-GIVE, to find out how your broker can make a simple electronic stock transfer. If your stock has depreciated, you might be better off selling it first, taking a tax loss, and then contributing the proceeds to get a charitable deduction. Please consult your tax advisor before making your decision.

Bequests: Once you have taken care of your loved ones, you can designate Goodwill Industries Keystone Area Foundation or Goodwill Keystone Area as a direct or remainder beneficiary in your will. You can also designate us as a remainder beneficiary of your retirement plan. Unless you want to give a major portion of your assets to the state, it is essential to protect your life's work and your family by making a will. For more information or to arrange a tour of our programs, call 1-800-432-GIVE or send a message to our Executive Vice President.

Real Estate: Goodwill Industries does accept donations of real estate and other forms of personal property.  Due to the unique circumstances of each transaction please contact us to discuss your specific gift.   E-mail the Executive Vice President or call 1-800-432-GIVE.
