Charitable Contributions
Costco Wholesale’s primary charitable efforts specifically focus on programs supporting children, education, and health and human services in the communities where we do business. Throughout the year we receive a large number of requests from nonprofit organizations striving to make a positive impact, and we are thankful to be able to provide support to a variety of organizations and causes. While we would like to respond favorably to all requests, understandably, the needs are far greater than our allocated resources and we are unable to accommodate them all.
Donation and Grant Eligibility Guidelines
To apply for Costco support, organizations must meet the following general requirements:
- Must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
