About
What Thrift Good is
What we do, what we will not do, and exactly where we are today.
Thrift Good takes what people no longer need and gives it the most useful second life it can have. What it sells funds charitable work.
Most donation schemes end at the loading dock: you hand over bags and never hear another thing. Here, what happens next is the point. So we publish it: what we can take, whether a truck can reach you, and what reached the work.
Where we are today
Setting up. The platform is built and running. What it does not yet have is a warehouse, a truck, a store or a first collection. That is why the drop-off finder is empty and the impact page has no numbers. Both will change, and neither will be filled with estimates in the meantime.
How we relate to UMMA Foundation
Thrift Good is being built as a social enterprise within the UMMA Foundation family. The legal and fiscal relationship is not settled yet. Until it is, we make no claim about tax status anywhere on this site. When it is, this page and our donation and receipt policy will say what that means for you.
Our commitments
What we will not do
- 01Publish an impact figure we cannot trace back to our own records.
- 02Put a dollar value on what you donated. That is yours to determine.
- 03Take goods we cannot handle safely in order to look generous.
- 04Guilt anyone into giving, or make people feel bad about the condition of their things.
- 05List anything valuable, luxury or collectible without a person having looked at it.
