Goodwill in Idaho is run by Easterseals-Goodwill Northern Rocky Mountain, a single organization that combines the Goodwill thrift model with Easterseals disability services across Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah. It operates Goodwill stores in southern Idaho, and store sales fund workforce, disability, clinical, and children's services. Mark Sherman serves as president and CEO, and the organization's revenue is about $104 million. Website esgw.org.
Goodwill runs a social enterprise: people donate used clothing and household goods, Goodwill sells them in its thrift stores, and the proceeds fund job training and other services. Donating and shopping are the main ways the public supports the mission.
In Idaho, the Goodwill stores are operated by Easterseals-Goodwill Northern Rocky Mountain, which merged the Goodwill retail model with Easterseals disability programs into one organization across four states.
Easterseals-Goodwill Northern Rocky Mountain provides 19 different programs across 58 locations in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah. Its work spans workforce development, disability services, clinical and children's therapy, and community integration and housing for adults with intellectual disabilities.
That combined mission is broader than a typical Goodwill, because the Easterseals side adds therapy and disability services alongside job training. Mark Sherman serves as president and CEO.
The organization operates Goodwill stores in southern Idaho, concentrated in the more populous southern part of the state. Sales from those stores help fund the workforce and disability programs across the four-state region.
Because the organization is regional, money raised at an Idaho store supports a shared mission that also reaches Montana, Wyoming, and Utah.
Goodwill accepts clean, gently used clothing, shoes, accessories, housewares, books, and many household items; check the donation guidelines before a large drop-off. Donations go to Easterseals-Goodwill stores in southern Idaho.
Donations are tax-deductible, and donors should keep a receipt and an itemized list for their records. For a full breakdown, see our guide on what Goodwill accepts.
Easterseals-Goodwill Northern Rocky Mountain is a 501(c)(3) organization, and revenue from its stores funds its workforce, disability, and clinical programs. Its EIN for tax-deductible cash gifts is 81-0232125.
The store-funded model means each donated item that sells helps pay for job training and disability services across the region, including in Idaho.
Both Goodwill and the Salvation Army run thrift stores funded by donated goods, but Easterseals-Goodwill pairs job training with disability and clinical services, while the Salvation Army funds recovery and broad social services. For donated clothing and housewares in southern Idaho, either is a strong option.
If your priority is workforce development or disability services, Easterseals-Goodwill is the dedicated agency across the region; for goods better suited to direct distribution, a local shelter or reuse nonprofit may fit better.
