Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

- THE GOOD PLANET IS FOCUSED ON UPSKILLING THE COLLECTIVE WORKFORCES OF ITS SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS TO RECYCLE ITEMS WITH AN INITIAL FOCUS ON EXTENDING THE LIFE OF PULVERIZED GLASS, RIGID AND SOFT PLASTICS, AND A FOCUS ON TEXTILES. THE GOOD PLANET'S IMPACT IS DEFINED BY THE NUMBER OF LOW-TO-MODERATE-INCOME (LMI) TEAM MEMBERS OF THE SUPPORTED GOODWILL ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE ABLE TO BUILD BETTER LIVES THROUGH THE MISSION OF THE GOOD PLANET AND THROUGH ITS ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR THE MILLIONS OF POUNDS OF PLASTICS AND GLASS THAT AREN'T ABLE TO BE SOLD IN THE 68 RETAIL STORES OF THE SUPPORTED GOODWILL ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT DELAWARE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, THE STATE OF DELAWARE, THE CHESAPEAKE AREA OF MARYLAND, THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND NORTHERN VIRGINIA. IN RECYCLING SOLUTIONS, UTILIZED THREE GLASS PULVERIZING MACHINES AND SECURED A PARTNERSHIP FOR A LOCAL BUSINESS TO TAKE THE PULVERIZED GLASS TO USE IN THEIR OPERATIONS. THE PARTNERSHIP AUDITED NEARLY 10,000 UNSOLD TEXTILE ITEMS TO DETERMINE THE QUALITY OF THE TEXTILES AND POTENTIAL RECYCLABLE SOLUTIONS FOR THEM.
