Charitable Donation Receipts

Yes! Monetary donations, furniture items, and large appliances (i.e. fridges, stoves, washers, dryers and freezers) are eligible for a charitable donation receipt.

• area rugs
• artwork/pictures
• books
• clothing & footwear
• collectibles
• computer equipment
• garden tools/equipment
• housewares/glassware (i.e. dishes, utensils/cutlery/silverware, tableware, decorative objects, etc.)
• jewellery
• lighting
• luggage
• media
• power tools
• seasonal items
• small appliances (i.e.: vacuums, toaster ovens, toasters, microwaves, coffee makers, etc.)
• small electronics
• sporting goods/equipment
• statuary
• toys, puzzles or games

Charitable donation receipts are not automatically provided for each donation. All requests must be made with Head Office by the donor prior to their donation pick up/drop-off date, as our Management Team assess the items immediately once received. This ensures that the correct items are being assessed for each donation receipt. We unfortunately cannot provide charitable donation receipts if requested after the pick-up/drop-off date.

Receipts must be requested each time donations are dropped off/scheduled for pick-up, as we do not keep ongoing requests for charitable donation receipts in our system.

Please inform our Head Office prior to your pick-up/drop-off date that you would like to receive a charitable donation receipt. 

Upon your request you will be asked to provide the following information for the donation receipt:

• Name of the donor/recipient
• Address & postal code (to be written on receipt)
• City/Province
• Itemized list of the items that you are donating (see above for information on what donations are eligible)
• Email/mailing address where you would like the receipt sent to

All requests and information for charitable donation receipts must be provided to our Head Office directly by the Donor prior to their scheduled pick-up/drop-off date. Requests and/or information provided to the Collection Team at the time of pick-up, or to our Admin Team after the donation has been received by Goodwill, are not guaranteed to be processed. It is not the responsibility of the Collection Team to collect, record or transmit donation receipt information between the Donor and Head Office, as it may be forgotten or misplaced along their route. An updated list of all eligible items being donated (i.e. furniture) must be communicated to the Head Office by the Donor prior to the pick up date. Donations given to the Collection Team at the time of pick up which were not documented with Head Office in advance may not be included on the donation receipt. 

Our Management Team will assess the condition and value of the items once they are brought back to our warehouse. Values reflect the second-hand retail price that the items are sold for in our stores, not the original purchase price. If eligible, our Admin Team will send you a donation receipt by email/mail for the donations received. If the donated items do not meet the eligibility criteria, a donation receipt will not be issued to the Donor. 

Please see the above sections for what items are eligible/not eligible for receipt.
