It is the responsibility of the Goodwill Industries Foundation of Greater Nebraska to raise money to assist Goodwill’s mission of helping individuals who face specific challenges, such as language barriers, a brain injury, substance use or physical or mental disabilities to accomplish things the rest of us may take for granted – like safe and affordable housing, living independently, transportation, employment, wellness and recovery.
Goodwill accepts cash donations and hosts an end of the year annual campaign each year. One hundred percent of the funds raised from this campaign stays in greater Nebraska transforming lives of individuals that receive our Goodwill services.
Goodwill also partners with Hornady Manufacturing, Five Points Bank, Beavercreek Marketing, Equitable Bank and other local businesses to sponsor the annual Platte River Charity Shoot, the organization’s only fundraising event.
Planned giving to Goodwill through wills and estates is a wonderful way to leave a legacy, while enjoying the tax advantages of philanthropic giving. Bequests of any size can help make sure that Goodwill Industries of Greater Nebraska will be here serving our local Nebraska communities with quality support programs and services for generations to come.
