Goodwill

Goodwill operates as a network of 165 independent, community-based organizations in 13 countries. In 2014 Goodwills collectively provided employment and community services, with more than 26.4 million people served and more than 318,000 people placed into employment. The Goodwill movement was founded in 1902 and adopted the name Goodwill in 1915. Goodwill organizations operate independently of each other and of Goodwill Industries International. GII is not a parent company, it is a member organization. As such, GII provides consultative services and technical support to its 165 members, which are autonomous, community-based organizations across the United States and Canada.
