Goodwill Industries Foundation of Northwest Ohio

Newly trained carpenter

While our community has significant demand for career readiness and placement services, the Goodwill Foundation will support efforts to meet those needs.

Created in 2022, the Goodwill Foundation supports Goodwill Industries of Northwest Ohio’s charitable mission and establishes and enhances mission programs.

Today’s significant employment gap produces jobs demanding more skills, training, and technical ability. Many unemployed and underemployed individuals lack those necessities, hindering their potential for success.

A nonprofit organization, the Goodwill Industries Foundation of Northwest Ohio invests in education, training, and job-placement initiatives that help strengthen our communities. Formed with $2,261,000 in startup funding from Goodwill Industries of Northwest Ohio, the Foundation broadens the organization’s capacity to help individuals achieve lifelong prosperity.
