Question

When you are donating clothes to GOODWILL OR SAVERS, is that "donating to charity?"?

Answer 1

Goodwill? Yes.  Savers? No.  Savers is a for-profit company, not a charity.

Answer 2

Yes. However if this is for tax purposes, I'm not sure that counts as it is not a monetary donation.

Answer 3

yes and it is tax deductable

Answer 4

Yes it is

and they will give you a "receipt" to fill in what you donated and put an approx cost on it for your taxes.

Answer 5

Anything you donate to the needy, that goes directly to the needy is charity. If someonemakes a profit from it ,it is not charity. unless the profit is used in direct support of the needy.I suggest finding a local family that can use the items you are trying ti rid yourself of and giving it directly to them. If you don't personally know a needy family drop them at a community help center or ask them to locate a needy family for you
