Building a Circle of Good
As a global leader in product philanthropy and purposeful giving, Good360 partners with socially responsible companies to keep overstocked, returned, and seasonal products out of landfills and to give those items a second life in the hands of people in need. For more than 35 years, we’ve built our relationship with our corporate partners on a foundation of mutualism – working to make the business of product donations truly a win-win-win-win proposition by building programs that benefit nonprofits, individuals, the environment, and our corporate donors.

Doing Good Better: How We Work
Good360 provides a number of opportunities for companies to give thoughtfully and with a focus on delivering the most impact.
- Large-scale truckloads: We coordinate the delivery of semi-truckloads of goods from return centers and DCs to our large nonprofit partners.
- Retail store matching: We match each location with a local nonprofit to help you drive local impact with donated goods and build bonds with the community.
- Central donation marketplace: Send goods to our Omaha warehouse where they are sorted, configured and shipped to approved nonprofits all over the country.
- Disaster recovery support: Partner to help disaster-impacted communities at any stage in the recovery process, including pre-positioning goods for future events.
- Customized giving programs: We develop and manage custom giving programs for many partners. We can develop similar opportunities for you.

Disaster Recovery: A Long-Term, Holistic Focus
As a leader in purposeful giving to transform lives, Good360 plays a key role in all phases of disaster recovery, from early response to long-term rebuilding. If not handled appropriately, giving during times of disaster can cause more problems instead of alleviating the ones that already exist. Through our holistic, full life cycle approach to working in disasters, we collaborate with our corporate donors to ensure that the right product is donated for the right people at the right time, ensuring optimum impact and helping accelerate the recovery process.
There are easy ways your company can help in disaster recovery:
- Donating needed product to impacted communities
- Launch an employee and/or customer engagement or giving program (and consider a corporate matching element)
- Join the Good360 Disaster Recovery Council, an assembly of thought leaders in the field
- Provide valuable cash grants to help ship and distribute product where it is needed. For every $1 dollar donated, Good360 distributes a minimum of $10 in needed goods.
