We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

• GOODWILL OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN INDIANA, INC. ("GCSI") AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, GW COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. ("GWCS") AND GOODWILL EDUCATION INITIATIVES, INC. ("GEI"), TOGETHER WITH GOODWILL FOUNDATION OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN INDIANA, INC. (THE FOUNDATION) (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS "GOODWILL") ARE INDIANA NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT OFFER EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION, AND RELATED SERVICES TO DISADVANTAGED ADULTS AND YOUNG PEOPLE THROUGHOUT CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN INDIANA. GOODWILL DEFINES DISADVANTAGED INDIVIDUALS AS THOSE WITH A BARRIER TO EMPLOYMENT SUCH AS A DISABILITY, A CRIMINAL HISTORY, AND/OR A LOW EDUCATION LEVEL (LESS THAN A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA). GOODWILL'S MANAGEMENT ENCOURAGES INTERESTED READERS TO READ THE FORM 990 TAX RETURNS OF ALL RELATED ENTITIES IN ORDER TO OBTAIN COMPLETE INFORMATION ABOUT THE EXEMPT ACTIVITIES, OPERATIONS, AND INTERRELATIONSHIPS OF THE COLLECTIVE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN INDIANA GOODWILL ORGANIZATIONS.GCSI OPERATES FOUR DISTINCT ENTERPRISE DIVISIONS, DESCRIBED BELOW. GCSI'S RETAIL OPERATION COLLECTS DONATIONS OF USED CLOTHING AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS AND SELLS THEM THROUGH A NETWORK OF 71 THRIFT STORES AND FOUR WAREHOUSE OUTLET CENTERS. EXCESS AND UNSALABLE DONATED ITEMS ARE SOLD THROUGH SALVAGE AND RECYCLING CHANNELS. UNIQUE AND HIGH-VALUE ITEMS, JEWELRY AND BOOKS ARE OFTEN SOLD THROUGH E-COMMERCE CHANNELS. THE RETAIL OPERATION ALSO ACCEPTS AND SELLS DONATED AUTOMOBILES, USING A THIRD PARTY FOR VEHICLE TOWING AND AUCTION SERVICES. THE RETAIL OPERATION EMPLOYS NEARLY 3,700 INDIVIDUALS, MORE THAN 67% OF WHOM HAVE BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT. THESE OPERATIONS ALSO GENERATE REVENUE AND CASH FLOW THAT FUND A LARGE PORTION OF GCSI'S OTHER MISSION-RELATED OPERATIONS AND ITS GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. GCSI'S COMMERCIAL SERVICES ("CS") OPERATION PROVIDES A VARIETY OF OUTSOURCE PACKAGING, ASSEMBLY, AND FULFILLMENT SERVICES TO EXTERNAL CUSTOMERS, EMPLOYING OVER 430 PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND OTHER BARRIERS.

MA ALSO MANAGES PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE HOLISTIC WHOLE-FAMILY SERVICES TO GOODWILL'S LOW-WAGE WORKERS, STUDENTS, PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS, AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE CS AND MA SEGMENTS OF GOODWILL OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ARE FUNDED BY A COMBINATION OF CONTRACTS WITH EXTERNAL CUSTOMERS, SERVICE CONTRACTS WITH FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES, UNITED WAY GRANTS, PRIVATE GRANTS AND GIFTS FROM INDIVIDUALS AND FOUNDATIONS, AND SUBSIDIES FROM GCSI'S RETAIL OPERATION. GOODWILL STRIVES TO PLACE MANY OF THE INDIVIDUALS IT SERVES THROUGH ITS MISSION ADVANCEMENT DIVISION IN EMPLOYMENT WITH EXTERNAL EMPLOYERS. IN MANY INSTANCES, INDIVIDUALS MAY WORK AT GOODWILL IN VARIOUS CAPACITIES TO GAIN WORK EXPERIENCE, TRAINING, JOB AND INCOME STABILITY, AND SOFT SKILLS NECESSARY TO BECOME MORE SELF-SUFFICIENT IN EMPLOYMENT WITH OTHER EMPLOYERS. INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES OR OTHER BARRIERS MADE UP MORE THAN 61% OF GOODWILL'S TOTAL WORKFORCE OF MORE THAN 5,100 EMPLOYEES IN FY2024. EMPLOYEES WITH DISABILITIES AND OTHER BARRIERS RECEIVE INDIVIDUALIZED CASE MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT DESIGNED TO ASSIST THEM IN DAILY LIVING, FINANCIAL DECISIONS, TRANSPORTATION, LIFE SKILLS, COMMUNICATIONS, ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AND OTHER CRITICAL NEEDS.

ABILITY ONE REQUIRES CERTAIN FEDERAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES TO PURCHASE SELECTED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, VIA SUCH CONTRACTS, FROM NON-PROFIT AGENCIES EMPLOYING BLIND OR SIGNIFICANTLY DISABLED INDIVIDUALS WITH SIGNIFICANT DISABILITIES.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.
