Is my donation tax deductible?
Because Goodwill Industries of Tulsa is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization, donations that are in "good used condition or better" are tax deductible. When you consider donating an item, a good rule of thumb is that if you would give that item to a friend or family member, it is likely in good used condition or better.
How much can I deduct?
