CharityWatch Analysts perform an in-depth analysis of charities' audited financial statements and IRS tax filings, and often review other documents such as state filings, annual reports, and fundraising contracts during their evaluations. Below are select notes that CharityWatch believes may be of interest to donors.

According to the Good360 2021 audit and tax filing, Good360 received in-kind donated product contributions in 2021 on which it placed a total value of $1,663,992,329. Over 98% of the total reported value of in-kind product contributions consisted of donated clothing and household goods (Audited Statement of Activities & IRS Form 990, Schedule M).

[Note: CharityWatch generally excludes the value of in-kind (non-cash) donations of goods and services from its calculations of Program % and Cost to Raise $100. More information on how grades are calculated and the treatment of in-kind donations can be found on the Our Process page.]

According to the Good360 audit of December 31, 2021 (Note 6, Notes Payable):

"On April 27, 2020, Good360 entered into a Small Business Administration (SBA) loan with its financial institution under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) in the amount of $789,337. On April 27, 2021, SBA approved Good360's application for forgiveness of the PPP loan. As a result, Good360 recognized the forgiveness of the loan principal in the amount of $789,337 and interest of $7,981 in the accompanying [audited] statement of activities for the year ended December 31, 2021.

"On June 29, 2020, Good360 entered into a SBA loan under the Economic [Injury] Disaster Loan program for the amount of $150,000. The loan is set to mature on June 29, 2050. Monthly payments of principal and interest of $641 commenced on June 29, 2021 with an interest rate of 2.75% per annum."

"The COVID-19 outbreak in the United States caused business disruption through mandated and voluntary closings of businesses across the country for non-essential services. Good360 continued most of its administrative operations in a remote environment and operated its warehouse to provide donated goods for COVID-19 relief... The extent to which COVID-19 may impact Good360's financial condition or results of operations remains uncertain."
