A Story Worth Sharing “Tremendous things are in store for you.” Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
Dear friends of Goodwill, I am delighted to share the 2012–2013 Goodwill Industries of Denver Annual Impact Report with you. In it, you’ll find the story of this wonderful organization and its positive impact on our community. I am thrilled to begin this new chapter. Since I came to Goodwill, I’ve realized that within our walls, a multitude of stories have been told… stories of success, transformation, independence, and dignity. Each of them is different, but what remains the same is that the characters— our participants—are well developed, and the storytellers—our employees, donors, and volunteers—are incredibly passionate. As you look through this report, you’ll read stories of success from the people who’ve lived them. These individuals were honored at our Annual Power of Work Luncheon where we recognized their hard work and strength to overcome adversity. They also speak to the power of Goodwill’s programs. Unemployment continues to be a problem in our community, especially among those with disabilities. While there are some misconceptions about our use of The Special Wage Certificate under 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act, you can be assured that we are extremely proud of what our Community Employment Program—and all of our programs—have done for individuals with severe disabilities or other disadvantaging conditions. From cover to cover, our tale is full of examples of Goodwill’s work in our local community, and each chapter celebrates real influence and positive impact on individuals, society, and the environment. I invite you to listen, learn, and share this story with others. Thank you for supporting Goodwill’s mission. You enable us to help those whose stories are truly worth sharing. Stuart Davie President & CEO Goodwill Industries of Denver 5

The truth about The Special Wage Certificate The use of The Special Wage Certificate under 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act is a vital tool in creating work opportunities for those with severe disabilities. For more than 90 years, Goodwill Industries of Denver has been a leading advocate in providing employment for people with a broad range of disabilities, including the most significant disabilities, to enter the workforce. With 80 percent of people with disabilities unemployed, this mission work is extremely important. This certificate is ONLY used within the Community Employment Program, which serves individuals with severe disabilities.
We are very proud of our program, because it provides a safe and nurturing environment for people with the most severe disabilities to gain self-esteem and independence. Our program gives them a place to go each day to interact with others in the community and to participate in work that gives them a sense of purpose, pride, and dignity. Goodwill, and thousands of other employers across the country utilize this certificate to serve individuals with disabilities, not to exploit them.

Dave Brisnehan In some ways, Dave Brisnehan feels like he may have missed his calling as a teacher. Now in retirement, he feels like he has a unique opportunity to live out a dream. When he discovered Goodwill’s Youth Career Development Program, Dave knew that this was the venue to inspire young people. After just a short time in the classroom, the energy and enthusiasm of the students excited Dave. The students began to know and trust him, their self-confidence soared, and their interests in their futures began to materialize. What happened next surprised him— he was getting a lot out of it himself. “You think you are giving yourself to others,” says Brisenehan. “But I found that I got a lot more than I gave while volunteering with Goodwill.”
