GT3 provides a structured solution for companies seeking to donate excess inventory, returned goods, or overstock products. Instead of disposing of valuable inventory or selling at a loss, businesses can contribute to a nonprofit workforce development model that converts products into trade school scholarships.
In 1995, 87-year-old Oseola McCarty inspired the world when she donated $150,000—most of her life savings—to support students who could not afford college. Having worked hard her entire life, she wanted future generations to have better opportunities. Her act of kindness became a symbol of generosity, education, and hope.
A dedicated construction team overcame difficult weather conditions and tight deadlines to successfully complete their project. Through teamwork, skill, and determination, they turned challenges into success. Their journey proved that strong collaboration can build more than structures—it can build lasting impact.
These careers are essential to the economy and are experiencing growing workforce shortages across the Midwest and the United States.
Whether you contribute physical goods or financial support, your generosity builds a bridge to a student’s future. Product donations turn your surplus inventory and overstock into vital classroom resources or scholarship funding, while cash donations provide direct tuition support paid straight to our vetted partner schools. By choosing the method that best fits your capacity, you are ensuring that hardworking students have both the tools and the financial backing they need to succeed.
Companies can donate excess inventory, customer returns, discontinued products, and overstock items that still hold functional value.
Donated goods are redistributed to partner schools or sold, and the proceeds are used to fund scholarships paid directly to educational institutions.
Donations may qualify for charitable contribution deductions under applicable IRS guidelines. Companies should consult their tax advisor for details.
The value of donated products is converted into funding that supports students pursuing careers in skilled trades and Career and Technical Education programs.
