Is Mark Curran CEO and Owner of Goodwill Industries?
Added by Calvin Gilbert on September 2nd, 2014 @ 4:36 pmMark Curran is not the CEO and Owner of Goodwill.
Several variations of an email called Think before you donate claim Mark Curran as the CEO and Owner of Goodwill Industries. One surfaced recently claiming Goodwill is a for-profit store and the owner, Mark Curran, makes an annual salary of 2.3 million. Mark Curran has never owned Goodwill or worked for Goodwill Industries.
Goodwill Industries of Northern New England is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit that operates in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont providing a variety of services that connect people to market place employment, reaching nearly 50,000 people annually.
This is the vicious and untrue email being sent:
Mark Curran and the Think before you donate email
GOODWILL CEO and owner Mark Curran profits $2.3 million a year.
Goodwill is a very catchy name for his business.
You donate to his business and then he sells the items for PROFIT.
He pays nothing for his products and pays his workers minimum wage! Nice Guy.
$0.00 goes to help anyone! Stop giving to this man.Read more at http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/charities.asp#cRTMosLyDjlF2iuc.99
Goodwill's Policy and Practice Concerning Wages
It is our policy and practice to always meet or exceed minimum wage for all our employees in Maine, New Hampshire and northern Vermont. As we connect people who face diverse challenges to jobs in the marketplace, we ensure that they, too, are paid competitive wages, never less than the established minimum wage.
