What Goodwill Industries of South Texas Inc does
Mission
In 2024, goodwill south texas transformed lives through the power of work by offering free job training and support services to individuals with disabilities and other disadvantages. We proudly served 4,532 people during the year.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Donated goods retail: goodwill retail stores and donation stations stand at the core of our mission: to provide job training and employment services to individuals with disabilities and other disadvantages. In 2023, we handled over 29m worth of gently used clothing, furniture, and other household items. These were meticulously sorted, priced, and sold across goodwill's 20 retail locations, our clearance store, and our ecommerce platform. This endeavor offered shoppers significant savings on high-quality, affordable goods and generated essential revenue to back our pivotal job training programs. Often hailed as the 'original recycler,' goodwill has championed the reuse and recycling of donations since 1902, nationally, and locally since 1948. By the close of the year, we registered over 1.7 million transactions, with 301,061 generous donors contributing their items. This concerted effort diverted over 16.4 tons of material from local landfills. Notably, this includes computers and computer components that found a new life through the dell reconnect recycling program.
$23,738,557 spent$29,050,074 earned by the program88% of program spendingMission services: south texas has historically grappled with high rates of poverty and unemployment. Goodwill, a leading force in job training programs, firmly believes in the transformative power of work. Beyond the tangible benefits of earning a paycheck, work instills self-confidence, fosters friendships, cultivates independence, and restores dignity and trust. Through this, we're enriching the south texas communities we proudly serve. A universal barrier that individuals who approach goodwill face is the absence of marketable job skills. By offering training in foundational digital abilities and by aiding in job placement and retention, we help individuals with disabilities and other disadvantages either enter or re- integrate into the workforce. Our approach is holistic - we aim to align the unique skills, interests, and work preferences of our program participants with the needs of local employers. Many whom we serve are ex- offenders, striving to rebuild their lives. To support them, we've pioneered resume workshops in both county jails and federal prisons. These workshops not only equip them with essential skills but also link them with resources outside the prison walls…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $8.3M to $58M (+592%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

32% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is.
