Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona

Top Arizona executive: Tim O’Neal

What it does: Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona’s mission is empowering individuals, strengthening families and building stronger communities.

Community impact: GCNA is committed to increasing the impact of tried-and-true methods of reducing waste in landfills while driving workforce, educational and economic impact in the community. In 2023, GCNA collected and diverted more than 280 million pounds of material from going directly into Arizona landfills. There are many steps taken in order to ensure donations are handled responsibly and bring positive value to Arizona communities and the environment. GCNA’s process gives no-longer-needed items a second chance, to ensure as many items as possible are sold, or sorted and responsibly recycled.
