I am affiliated with several non-profits, both for personal reasons and for scrapping. Salvation Army and some others actually use the proceeds for charitable purposes. Goodwill's goal is profit for administrative salaries. They "provide jobs" - for workers to sort and sell the free stuff for administration to benefit. There is no charitable function in their business plan. May want to keep that in mind when considering future donations.
