About Goodwill of Colorado
Goodwill of Colorado is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit social enterprise that uses revenue from donated goods and retail operations to fund workforce training, education and employment-placement services across Colorado.
The organization operates retail stores, donation and outlet locations, and a portfolio of career programs (including the Excel Center high school for adults, LIFT IT, and recently launched Clean Tech training), serving roughly 140,000–150,000 Coloradans annually and diverting more than 200 million pounds of goods from landfills each year.
Notable achievements
Large-scale reuse & diversion
Annually diverts more than 200 million pounds of donated items from Colorado landfills, reducing waste while generating revenue for mission programs.
Training reach and placements
Recent organizational metrics report training tens of thousands of job seekers annually (e.g., 43,250 trained) and placement of program participants into new jobs (reported in the range of low thousands across recent years).
Program growth via grants and partnerships
Secured public and private support (examples in 2024–2025 include an Opportunity Now Colorado planning grant for LIFT IT and partnerships to launch a Clean Tech Accelerator) to expand credentialed training and placement pathways.
