Alexandria, Va., March 7, 2013 — Good360 announced today that Matthew Shay, president and CEO of the National Retail Federation, has joined the organization’s board of directors. Shay joins Good360 as the nonprofit enters its thirtieth year as a thought leader in the product philanthropy space.
“Not only will Matt bring a deep understanding of the retail industry culture to our board, he will help introduce product philanthropy to many of America’s top brands through the world’s largest retail trade association,” said Good360 Chair Carly Fiorina. “We could not be more enthusiastic about the addition of Matt’s progressive vision as we continue to engineer innovative ways of connecting those who have with those who need. “

Nonprofit leader in product philanthropy to introduce Giving Market and business case motion graphics video
Alexandria, Va., November 20, 2012 ? Good360 has joined #GivingTuesday, a first-of-its-kind effort that will harness the collective power of a unique blend of partners?charities, families, businesses and individuals?to transform how people think about, talk about and participate in the giving season. Coinciding with the Thanksgiving Holiday and the kickoff of the holiday shopping season, #GivingTuesday will inspire people to take collaborative action to improve their local communities, give back in better, smarter ways to the charities and causes they support and help create a better world. Taking place November 27, 2012 ? the Tuesday after Thanksgiving ? #GivingTuesday will harness the power of social media to create a national movement around the holidays dedicated to giving, similar to how Black Friday and Cyber Monday have become days that are, today, synonymous with holiday shopping.
?Good360 is always looking for ways to celebrate giving and engage communities, individuals and companies,? said Cindy Hallberlin, Good360 President & CEO. ?We?re thrilled to join so many incredible organizations in the #GivingTuesday movement.?In addition to inviting corporate donors and member nonprofits to tweet and post about their giving experience in honor of #GivingTuesday, Good360 is introducing two new initiatives to promote both cash and product contributions.

The market highlights the fact that for every dollar donated, Good360 is able to deliver, on average, $70 worth of critically needed goods to nonprofits representing every cause imaginable. All funds raised will help offset the cost of shipping and handling for their member nonprofits.
To promote product contributions, Good360 will launch a new motion graphics video that illustrates in 60 seconds why product philanthropy is a great idea for business. Not just an inventory solution, Good360's philanthropy model can improve the bottom line, build employee engagement and improve sales as a socially responsible company all by donating merchandise that might otherwise be stored, destroyed, or liquidated for pennies on the dollar.
Seeing an opportunity to channel the generous spirit of the holiday season to inspire action around charitable giving, a group of friends and partners, led by the 92nd Street Y, came together to find ways to promote and celebrate the great American tradition of giving. Thought leaders in philanthropy, social media and grassroots organizing joined with 92nd Street Y to explore what is working in modern philanthropy and how to expand these innovations throughout the philanthropic sector.
Currently, more than 1,000 corporate and nonprofit organizations have committed to participate in the initiative. #GivingTuesday is endorsed by Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy, Dorothy A. Johnson Center on Philanthropy, Giving Institute, Giving USA Foundation and InterAction. Charity Navigator and GuideStar are serving as Charity Advisors. VolunteerMatch is a volunteer advisor to #GivingTuesday.?In addition to inviting corporate donors and member nonprofits to tweet and post about their giving experience in honor of #GivingTuesday, Good360 is introducing two new initiatives to promote both cash and product contributions.

10/02/2012 - GOOD360 RECEIVES KNIGHT FOUNDATION SUPPORT TO ENGAGE COMMUNITIES THROUGH TECHNOLOGY
Alexandria, Va., Oct. 2, 2012 ? Good360 announced today that it will use a $250,000 grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation to engage communities, individuals and companies through their new online product exchange platform.
The support is part of Knight?s Technology for Engagement Initiative, founded on the ideal that technology has the power to transform our democracy. The initiative funds projects that experiment with ways people can engage with and take action on issues they care about.
Good360, the nonprofit leader in product philanthropy since 1983, is growing the world?s largest online product donation marketplace. The enhanced platform will enable their network of more than 30,000 nonprofits, schools and libraries to communicate their needs and impact, corporate donors to fulfill their requests and individual contributors to support their favorite causes with tangible donations.
?Collaboration is vital as we expand on our goal to connect companies who have goods with the nonprofits who need them,? said Melissa Trumpower, Good360 Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President of Strategic Partnerships. ?By creating an online platform where philanthropy and innovation meet, we hope to empower our nonprofit network to find, request, fundraise and fulfill their product needs anytime from anywhere.?
Features of the new platform will include a ?Nonprofit Profile? where organizations will be able to highlight their mission, programs and the people and communities they serve. The ?Neighborhood Donation Mapping Tool? will allow nonprofits to find available donations within a certain community. ?Wish Lists? will enable organizations to choose existing products from the Good360 catalog and engage their own network of supporters by requesting help to cover the shipping and handling fees. ?Impact Reporting Tools? will allow nonprofits to show immediate gratitude to supportive individuals and share stories with donor companies.
As nonprofits use these tools, corporations will better understand the impact of their donations and be able to make important decisions about future donations. Individuals will have the chance to become effective and influential micro-philanthropists, realizing that they can leverage, on average, $70 in product value for every single dollar they donate towards the nonprofit or cause of their choosing.
During the initial phase of launching the new platform, Good360 will work with companies and nonprofits in Knight resident communities in which Good360 already has a strong nonprofit base to seek user feedback and test engagement methodology. This will include how-to webinars, segmented online campaigns and heightened relationship building.
?Strong communities are built person by person, relationship by relationship,? said Jeff Coates, Knight Foundation Strategic Initiatives Associate. ?Good360 will foster these relationships through technology and help empower communities to shape their own futures.?
Knight Foundation, a national funder with local roots, is committed to promoting democracy by supporting informed and engaged communities. The Technology for Engagement Initiative, launched in 2010, has invested $10 million in 24 projects. Knight Foundation today also released a new report, Digital Citizenship: Exploring the Field of Technology for Engagement. It can be found at knightfoundation.org/digitalcitizenship.

08/16/2012 - GOOD360 INCLUDED IN GIVING LIBRARY LAUNCH AIMED TO IMPROVE PHILANTHROPY
The Laura and John Arnold Foundation releases an online library to help philanthropists make informed and impactful decisions with respect to giving
Alexandria, Va., August 16, 2012 ? Good360 announced today their involvement in the Giving Library, an innovative online library dedicated to providing information about hundreds of nonprofit organizations through easily digestible video formats. The library was released on Tuesday, August 14, by The Laura and John Arnold Foundation (LJAF), whose objective is to produce substantial, widespread and lasting reforms that will maximize opportunities and minimize injustice in our society.
?Through the Giving Library, philanthropists will be able to learn more about our mission and vision, the impact we are having, the challenges we face and what we could accomplish with additional financial resources in a uniquely intimate and non-committal manner,? said Good360 Chief Strategy Officer Ellie Hollander. ?This level of access and exposure is a generous gift onto itself, and something that we would never have been able to achieve without the foresight and help of LJAF.?
Laura and John Arnold made public their dedication to philanthropy with the establishment of LJAF in 2008 and the signing of Bill Gates? and Warren Buffet?s Giving Pledge in 2010. The creation of the Giving Library is another step forward in their commitment to charitable giving. As reflected in their Philosophy of Philanthropy, the Arnolds seek to help other donors become as engaged, collaborative, and strategic about charitable giving as the Arnolds personally strive to be. The Giving Library is a tool, but it also serves as a call to action for strategic, thoughtful philanthropy.
?We have been blessed by the many opportunities afforded to us and feel it is our responsibility to invest in philanthropic efforts that create significant change within our lifetimes,? said Laura and John Arnold. ?We created the Giving Library to help philanthropists explore a large number of giving opportunities in one place and to help them make informed and impactful decisions.?
The Giving Library provides two ways to explore participating non-profits: short-format videos that provide a broad understanding of an organization?s work; and long-format video interviews to model an in-depth, face-to-face meeting between a donor and a non-profit. The long-format video interviews address each organization?s origins, objectives, success metrics, leverage points, effectiveness, possible misconceptions, accomplishments, challenges, future plans, and gaps.
In addition to learning about non-profit organizations by viewing online video interviews, donors have the option to utilize the Connection Center feature, which allows donors to plan their giving on their own terms.? Donors may directly connect with organizations of interest - anonymously or by voluntarily identifying themselves ? to ask questions or request additional information.
?
Non-profit organizations included in the Giving Library were evaluated to ensure that they are 501(c)(3) public charities. However, a nonprofit organization?s participation in the Giving Library is not an endorsement by LJAF.
About the Giving Library
The Giving Library offers philanthropists an innovative way to enhance their strategic charitable giving. Donors can explore our online archive of video interviews to locate, study, compare, and engage with hundreds of nonprofit organizations across the country. The Giving Library also serves nonprofit organizations by enhancing donor access through a compelling medium, increasing overall visibility, and providing an opportunity to learn about peer organizations across the country.

04/02/2012 - GOOD360 RECEIVES $150,000 GRANT FROM THE UPS FOUNDATION
UPS Charitable Arm Commits Funding to Enhance Good360?s Online Donation Marketplace
Alexandria, Va., April 2, 2012 ? Good360 (about.good360.org) received a generous $150,000 grant from The UPS Foundation, the charitable arm of UPS (NYSE:UPS), this month. The grant will enhance Good360?s current technology platform to better serve the vast and exponentially increasing needs of a growing nonprofit network and has the potential to create transformative impact for schools, libraries, and the charitable sector at large on a global scale.
As part of the platform, Good360 is launching its new online donation marketplace that will connect nonprofits, corporations, and socially minded people to share stories and join together to improve their communities through product giving. In addition, the new technology will significantly streamline identification, delivery and distribution of valuable, needed product donations for nonprofits around the world.
?Our new donation marketplace will provide leveraged giving opportunities for individuals and companies,? said Ellie Hollander, Chief Strategy Officer & EVP for Business Development at Good360. ?Companies donate inventory, individuals contribute cash to defray logistics expenses, and together we deliver on average $70 in value to community-based nonprofits for every dollar invested.?
Providing nonprofits with tools to help them identify the product needs of their organizations, the donation marketplace will allow them to share product wish lists with their own communities and donor networks. The wish list tool will help them garner the community support they need to raise needed funding to underwrite the expenses associated with delivery. The development of such tools is made possible through generous grants from companies such as UPS.
?The UPS Foundation is committed to funding impactful programs that make a meaningful difference in our communities, so we are proud to support Good360?s efforts to complete and optimize their online donation marketplace,? said Eduardo Martinez, newly-appointed president of The UPS Foundation.

03/22/2012 - RIBBON-CUTTING CEREMONY MARKS OPENING OF GOOD360 NATIONAL DISTRIBUTION AND SORTING CENTER IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA
Good360 Consolidates Charitable Fulfillment Operation with help from The UPS Foundation and The Home Depot Foundation
Alexandria, Va., March 22, 2012 ??Good360 (about.good360.org), the nonprofit leader in product philanthropy, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house on Thursday, March 22 ?to commemorate the grand opening of the organization?s new National Distribution and Sorting Center. The international nonprofit organization consolidated several warehouses where it stores and fulfills product donations for thousands of charities into the new location at 6200 North 16th Street in Omaha, Nebraska.
Special guests attending the ceremony included:
- The Honorable Dave Heineman, governor of Nebraska
- The Honorable Jim Suttle, mayor of Omaha
- David Brown, president and CEO of Greater Omaha Chamber
- Terry McMullen, president of Cargo Zone LLC
- Cindy Hallberlin, president and CEO of Good360In January, with the support of The UPS Foundation and The Home Depot Foundation, Good360 finalized the consolidation of its sorting and distribution operations in Omaha. ?In an effort to streamline its supply-chain and reduce the cost of logistics, product donations, previously stored in 12 different cities throughout the United States and Canada, were combined to optimize the return to their nonprofit member network and donor companies.
?Nebraska has always been an important center for transportation and logistics, and now it is at the center of the charitable supply chain as well,? said Good360 chief operating officer Kevin Hagan. ??Our consolidation has substantially cut down the time and resources needed to support nonprofits that provide important safety net programs in communities across the country.?
Cargo Zone LLC, an existing Good360 warehouse partner located in Omaha, has enabled Good360 to receive, sort, package and ship donations, all from one facility. The centralized sorting and distribution center provides increased transportation advantages for both Good360 and its donors, the opportunity for Good360 to handle customer and vendor returns through their newly expanded reverse logistics capabilities and yields a wider charitable impact for every donation made to Good360.
The new sorting center provides valuable training opportunities and situational work experiences for participants from ResCare Workforce Services, an Employment First program funded by the state of Nebraska and designed to meet the goals of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families legislation. This legislation provides monies for low-income families with children and affords them valuable opportunities to gain workplace skills, experience and training with the goal of finding and maintaining gainful employment. ?ResCare allows Good360 to cut the cost of distribution, and thus save money for its growing network of almost 26,000 nonprofits.
?We gladly welcome Good360?s new national distribution and sorting center to Nebraska,? said Governor Dave Heineman. ?Nebraska is perfectly located for distribution and we appreciate working with Good360 through a number of efforts, including job training grants, to make this project a successful reality.?
?We are fortunate to have this nationally recognized nonprofit choose Omaha as the site to consolidate its business services and develop its new distribution center,? said Mayor Jim Suttle. ??I applaud Good360 for identifying the benefits Omaha offers businesses and using those benefits to improve their operation. ?We welcome Good360 to our community.?
?Things get done in Greater Omaha through strong public-private partnerships and the philanthropic and charitable commitments of its citizens and corporations. It just seems fitting that Omaha would then be selected as the new distribution hub of the international leader of product philanthropy,? said David G. Brown, president and CEO, Greater Omaha Chamber. ?Our location at the transportation crossroads of North America continues to foster business growth and expansion.?
