Examples of these types of gifts include leaving Goodwill as a beneficiary in your will, life insurance policy, retirement plan, and designation for an IRA Charitable Rollover gift.

    Other vehicles include life income plans such as charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder unitrusts. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor to identify the best opportunity for you.

    The Future Lies in Clean Tech

    The U.S. clean energy sector is booming — with job growth on track to triple by mid-2030s. Nearly 40% of these jobs don’t require degrees. Yet, many employers are struggling to find trained talent. The Goodwill Clean Tech Accelerator™ (GCTA) is preparing the next generation for careers in clean energy and sustainable technology. Through hands-on training and industry-recognized credentials, we connect job seekers with in-demand opportunities — powering a cleaner, greener future.
    This program launched in partnership with Accenture and General Motors, and later the Lowe’s Foundation, to target the most in-demand clean energy jobs to fill this critical talent gap. There are three training pathways: solar installation, HVAC/heat pump installation and electric vehicle supply equipment technician.  

    We are seeking partners to amplify the reach and impact of the GCTA, creating pathways to equitable and sustainable employment in the clean energy sector.
