Hello everyone,
So where does Goodwill's profit go. We know that Goodwill pays nothing for their merchandise, pays their workers and their other expenses, there is a profit left over. Does he donate that profit. If he doesn't, what does Mark Curran do with that profit. How much is his salary? Understanding the programs, jobs, etc. that Goodwill provides, that we can all appreciate. However, the answers to the above questions would better determine the reality of this well intended organization as it relates to what is pocketed Mr. Curran.

GOODWILL CEO and owner Mark Curran profits $2.3 million a year.
Goodwill is a very catchy name for his business. You donate to his business and then he sells the items for PROFIT. He pays nothing for his products and pays his workers minimum wage! Nice Guy.
$0.00 goes to help anyone!!!

Hey, it's on the internet so it must be true (with tongue in cheek)!Lilian,
As someone who has worked with the Goodwill of Greater Washington for at least the last five years on projects that benefit local residents I can tell you that this is spin that shouldn't be circulated.
The heads of all organizations get paid well to stay in those positions. Our local goodwill works directly with folks in our city and more specifically our ward. To turn their backs on them for the salvation army which locally is based out of MD would be doing a disservice to our own.

Subject: Fwd: Where your donations goThis is very interesting. I didn't realize this about Goodwill. I do know that if you go into a Goodwill now, the prices are shocking. It's more like a retail store then a thrift shop! Anyway, I thought this was worth passing on.Think about these before you donate.As you open your pockets to do a good thing and make yourself feel good, please keep these facts in mind:
