Global Presence

Goodwill’s founder Edgar J. Helms once said, “Goodwill is simply too powerful an idea to stay within the borders of one country.” He visited Australia, Japan, China, the Philippines, Malaysia, India, Egypt and several European countries, spreading the word that work should be within the reach of anyone who wants to hold a job.

Goodwill is committed to globally helping people find good jobs.

Goodwill‘s global presence extends to five continents, with 169 full member organizations in three countries. In addition, there are 15 organizations affiliated with Goodwill Industries International, Inc. in 13 countries. Each organization considers its country’s unique social and economic climate when developing programs and services that enable citizens to become economically self-sufficient, support their families, and build better communities.

Some North American-based Goodwills also work to develop entrepreneurial ventures that support the mission of Goodwill by developing alliances and networks of resources and capabilities to create employment opportunities for people around the world.
