Other Ways to Provide Financial Gifts

Recurring Gift

Our online donation form now allows you to select and customize a recurring gift. Donate monthly, quarterly, or annually and help us provide the power of work to someone in your community that needs help now.

Your recurring gift helps form a predictable source of income we can count on to fund programs when and where they are needed. With your support, we can help people who have been struggling to find work access the training and support they need now to build a better tomorrow.

Planned Giving

Planned gifts, such as bequests or charitable trusts, can be a powerful, enduring way to provide for a future gift to charity. You can take care of yourself and take care of Goodwill.

Planned giving involves providing for a future gift to a nonprofit through your financial and estate plans. Goodwill welcomes gifts made through different planned giving arrangements. These arrangements can:

  • Provide for you or your loved ones
  • Entitle you to charitable income and/or gift or estate tax deductions
  • Enable you to leave a legacy with Goodwill

For more information, please contact your professional financial advisor to find out how you can receive the maximum tax and legal advantage for your gift.

Endowment Fund

Another giving option is contributing to the Goodwill Industries of West Michigan Endowment Fund at the Community Foundation for Muskegon County.

To donate to the Goodwill Industries Endowment Fund, make your check payable to “Community Foundation for Muskegon County” and let them know you would like it to go into the “Goodwill Industries Endowment Fund.”

Mail To:
CFMC, 425 West Western Avenue, Suite 200, Muskegon, MI 49440
