A $10 million donation to Goodwill Industries of the Valleys will benefit the nonprofit and people in the 35 counties it serves for years to come.
The Roanoke-based Goodwill chapter announced Wednesday it received a $10 million contribution from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, of the Amazon e-commerce fortune.
âIâve been around for 47 years with Goodwill,â said Goodwill of the Valleys President Bruce Phipps. âIn my career, Iâve never had something of this magnitude in support of Goodwill ever happen.â
The donation, which comes as part of a nationwide $4 billion philanthropic campaign by Scott, is transformative for the local Goodwill organization, Phipps said.
