1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

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.

Mission

FOR OVER 66 YEARS, HEART OF TEXAS GOODWILL INDUSTRIES HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO CHANGING LIVES THROUGH THE POWER OF WORK. SINCE 1955, HEART OF TEXAS GOODWILL HAS GROWN INTO THE LEADING NON-PROFIT PROVIDER OF EMPLOYMENT READINESS SERVICES AND JOB TRAINING PROGRAMS THAT HELP PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND DISADVANTAGING CONDITIONS REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. HEART OF TEXAS GOODWILL COVERS A SERVICE TERRITORY OF 20 COUNTIES AND OPERATES TWELVE RETAIL STORES, TWO OUTLET CENTERS, AND AN ONLINE AUCTION MARKETPLACE, SHOPGOODWILL.COM. THE RETAIL BUSINESS NOT ONLY CREATES MORE THAN 370 JOBS FOR PEOPLE WITH BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT BUT IT ALSO GENERATES THE REVENUE THAT FUNDS THE EMPLOYMENT SERVICES AND SKILLS TRAINING PROGRAMS OFFERED TO THOUSANDS OF CENTRAL TEXANS EACH YEAR THROUGH GOODWILL'S MISSION SERVICES DEPARTMENT.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THE MISSION OF HEART OF TEXAS GOODWILL INDUSTRIES IS TO FACILITATE CHANGE THROUGH SKILLS TRAINING AND WORK OPPORTUNITIES.

  • HEART OF TEXAS GOODWILL'S RETAIL OPERATIONS SERVES AS THE MECHANISM FOR THE ORGANIZATION TO HELP PEOPLE REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL THROUGH THE POWER OF WORK. GOODWILL ACCEPTS DONATED CLOTHING AND OTHER HOUSEHOLD GOODS WHICH ARE PROCESSED AND SOLD IN ONE OF ITS RETAIL STORES. THIS PROCESS CREATES JOBS IN THE COMMUNITY FOR PEOPLE WITH BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT AS WELL AS ON-THE-JOB TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES OR INDIVIDUALS NEEDING HELP GETTING ACCLIMATED BACK INTO THE WORKFORCE. THE REVENUE GENERATED FROM THE SALE OF GOODS SOLD IN GOODWILL RETAIL STORES IS THEN USED TO FUND COMMUNITY-BASED EMPLOYMENT SERVICES, SKILLS TRAINING PROGRAMS, AND JOB PLACEMENT ASSISTANCE IN ONE OF FIVE JOB CONNECTION CENTERS.

    Expenses $15,518,726 · Revenue $5,507,300

  • THE SALE OF DONATED ITEMS RECEIVED FROM DONORS PLAYS A SIGNIFICANT ROLE BEHIND THE SCENES AT GOODWILL, HELPING TO FUND LIFE-CHANGING TRAINING PROGRAMS AND VOCATIONAL SERVICES FOR INDIVIDUALS SEEKING GREATER SUCCESS IN THE WORKPLACES. GOODWILL DEVELOPS WORK OPPORTUNITIES AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING COURSES FOR PEOPLE WITH BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT AND DISABLING CONDITIONS BY PARTNERING WITH STATE AGENCIES AND OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. THESE PARTNERSHIPS CREATE ON-THE-JOB TRAINING PROGRAMS THAT GIVE PEOPLE THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO SUCCEED IN THE WORKPLACE, ALL WHILE THEY EARN A PAYCHECK. THESE PAID TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES OCCUR WITHIN GOODWILL'S RETAIL OPERATIONS OR AT STATE OFFICES, DOING WORK SUCH AS LEGAL SERVICES OR GENERAL OFFICE WORK. THESE PARTNERSHIPS ALSO CREATE A PIPELINE OF REFERRALS TO GOODWILL'S ONE-ON-ONE AND CLASSROOM-BASED JOB READINESS AND COMPUTER TRAINING, GEARED TOWARDS PEOPLE LOOKING TO UPGRADE THEIR SKILLS OR NEED HELP IN THEIR EMPLOYMENT SEARCH. MOST SERVICES ARE FREE AND ARE OFFERED BY DEDICATED MISSION SERVICES STAFF LOCATED IN ONE OF FIVE COMMUNITY-BASED JOB CONNECTION CENTERS OPERATED BY GOODWILL. SPECIAL PROGRAMS ALSO EXIST TO SERVE SPECIFIC POPULATIONS SUCH AS VETERANS, JUSTICE INVOLVED, YOUTH, AND HOUSELESS.

    Expenses $1,910,402 · Revenue $1,488,166

  • GOODWILL'S CONTRACT SERVICES DIVISION CREATES JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABLING CONDITIONS THROUGH THE STATE SET-ASIDE PROGRAM WITH THE STATE OF TEXAS AS WELL AS CONTRACTS CREATED WITH LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
