financial gifts
Goodwill Columbus does not ask for charity and neither do the thousands of people we serve each year. Instead, participants ask for a chance to overcome a disability, to learn new skills and to become self-sufficient, productive individuals.
Goodwill gives individuals chances, and we need your help to assure they succeed. We invite you to financially support people who passionately want to improve their lives and gain hopeful independence. You can help change someone's life with a gift to Goodwill Columbus. A gift from you is actually an investment to help our clients enhance the quality of their lives.
When you give, you become a part of us. You help us make a difference. You change a person's life.
We understand that giving is both an important and personal decision. Please give us an opportunity to answer your questions, or provide additional information about giving to Goodwill Columbus. Please call Dee Anders at 614-583-0216 or email us.
