Overview
A $200M-a-year nonprofit that funds job training, coaching, and placement for people facing barriers to work, including disabilities, through its thrift stores.
Goodwill Central Texas is the regional Goodwill organization serving Austin and the surrounding counties. According to its IRS Form 990 data from ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer, it reported about $206.7 million in revenue and $197.6 million in expenses for fiscal year 2023, making it one of the largest nonprofits in Central Texas. The IRS classifies it under code J32, vocational rehabilitation.
The retail stores are the visible part; the mission is employment. Goodwill Central Texas offers career case management, job-readiness workshops, job placement, and the Goodwill Career & Technical Academy, which trains students for certifications in healthcare, IT, and business. People with disabilities, veterans, and people re-entering the workforce are among the populations it focuses on, and it works alongside Texas Workforce Solutions-Vocational Rehabilitation Services.
Goodwill also employs many people with disabilities directly in its stores, donation centers, and contracts, which gives job seekers a place to build recent work history. Services are free to participants and are offered in English and Spanish.
