Overview

Mission

Helping people with disabilities obtain employment and provide continuing support while working in ability one government contracts or in mobile workgroups throughout the region.

What it reported doing in 2024

Contract services program - our mission comes to life by empowering people who want to begin, maintain or advance their career. Goodwill operates two government contracts to provide janitorial services to the gsa and the dod buildings. We provided training and employment to over 100 individuals in 2024, many of whom have a significant disability and otherwise may have difficulty finding a job. In addition, the income earned from these contracts is, in turn, used to support the related mission of goodwill of western Missouri and eastern Kansas by providing funding for the training, job placement, work supports and related services provided through the goodworks centers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 100% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
