Goodwill of Colorado

In 2024, Goodwill of Colorado reached 143,061 Coloradans through local community programs and provided free job training and coaching to 43,250 people. Your vehicle donation funds the workforce training, career development, and life-skills programs behind that reach.

When donated through Goodwill Car Donations, your car strengthens Goodwill of Colorado’s community impact programs, from career training and job placement to services for seniors, youth, veterans, and individuals with disabilities.

That support makes it possible for Coloradans to overcome barriers, build confidence, and move toward greater economic and personal independence.

About Goodwill of Colorado

Goodwill of Colorado serves communities across the state with programs focused on education, training, job placement, and greater independence. The organization has been part of Colorado since 1918 and now provides career development resources and life-skills training for more than 127,000 Coloradans each year, including military veterans, seniors, youth, and individuals who have a disability or other barrier to employment.

Today’s statewide organization reflects the 2019 merger of Goodwill Industries of Denver and Discover Goodwill of Southern & Western Colorado, which expanded the reach of Goodwill services across Colorado.

Through retail stores, donations, community partnerships, recycling efforts, and mission programs, Goodwill of Colorado helps turn everyday donations into practical career training, digital access, job placement, and life-skills pathways that people use to build more independent futures.
