Who We Are

Alabama Goodwill is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that is governed entirely by a local volunteer Board of Directors.

As a result, donations are always tax-deductible to the extent of the law. We serve a 38-county territory in central and north Alabama, and our impact is local in those areas.

We are dedicated to our core values and guiding principles, which drive our decisions, mission and the way we work.
