Costo Construction – Supporting our Community
The Power of Giving Back by Supporting our Community
At Costo Construction, we believe the work we do in supporting our community is a necessity. Our work is not limited to building projects; it extends to building trust, opportunity, and resilience for the people who live and work in those communities. The concept of “giving back” isn’t a sideshow for us—it’s a core part of our values, a reflection of who we are, and a promise to future generations. When we invest in a community, we invest in healthier neighborhoods, stronger families, and a brighter economic outlook for everyone involved. This includes supporting our team members, strengthening local institutions, and partnering with organizations that share our vision of inclusion, opportunity, and service.
Why we believe in supporting our community:
Strengthening social fabric: Local businesses are deeply embedded in the social and cultural life of a community. By supporting nonprofits, schools, and health initiatives, companies help create environments where families can thrive, workers can grow, and communities can attract new talent and investment.
Building trust and social license by supporting our community: Consistent, genuine community involvement signals to residents, customers, and local authorities that a company cares about more than profits. This trust translates into smoother permitting processes, greater community support for projects, and long-term partnerships that can withstand economic cycles.
Attracting and retaining talent: Employees want to work for organizations that align with their values. A tangible commitment to community welfare boosts morale, strengthens employer branding, and helps attract people who want meaningful, purpose-driven work.
Creating lasting impact: Short-term philanthropy is valuable, but sustained investments—such as major gifts, ongoing donations to essential causes, and active roles in community leadership—create durable change that can be measured across generations.
Costo Construction’s commitment to community
Costo Construction is deeply invested in making a positive impact wherever we work. Our approach is threefold: to support our community, to care for our people, and to live our values through every project we undertake.
By Supporting our Community: We view every assignment as an opportunity to contribute to the broader well-being of the places we serve. Our donations, volunteerism, and leadership roles are designed to complement the essential work already happening in the community, not to compete with it.
People: Our team is our most valuable asset. We invest in ongoing training, fair wages, safe working conditions, and opportunities for professional growth. By fostering a culture of service and stewardship, we empower our people to be ambassadors for positive change both on and off the job site.
Values: Integrity, accountability, and a commitment to quality guide every decision. Our charitable efforts reflect these same principles: transparent giving, measurable impact, and a long-term view that benefits the community as a whole.
Supporting our community: Major Gifts to United Way and ongoing support to other causes
Costo Construction has proudly served as a Major Gifts donor to United Way. This leadership role reflects our belief in strengthening families, improving access to education and healthcare, and building better, safer communities. United Way’s work across education, income stability, and health aligns closely with the outcomes we seek in the communities where we operate. By contributing at a Major Gifts level, we help sustain programs that reach children and adults who need support most, from early learning initiatives to emergency assistance and financial stability services.
Beyond United Way, Costo Construction makes ongoing donations to a variety of causes that reflect our local priorities and values. These efforts span education, youth development, disaster relief readiness, and environmental stewardship. Our approach to giving is deliberate and strategic, designed to maximize impact while maintaining alignment with our core business goals and values. We continuously review our giving portfolio to ensure we are funding programs that deliver measurable benefits and that resonate with our employees and stakeholders.

A source of inspiration and accountability for our own work
The Boys and Girls Club of Palm Springs embodies a model of community-centered service that resonates with Costo Construction’s own values. The Club’s daily work, supporting our community —providing safe spaces, mentorship, educational support, and positive programming—offers a concrete example of how private sector involvement can amplify the impact of nonprofit work. It also provides a platform for our team to engage directly with families, students, and community leaders, translating corporate generosity into hands-on, meaningful outcomes.
The broader case for private-sector support of nonprofits
Public-private partnerships and philanthropic investments from local businesses are essential to the health of nonprofit ecosystems. A robust private-sector support network helps non-profits plan for the long term, weather funding gaps, and scale programs to reach more people. An authoritative view on this dynamic can be found in national giving research and policy discussions that highlight how corporate philanthropy complements government and individual giving, and how it fuels the delivery of essential services by organizations like United Way and the Boys and Girls Clubs across communities. For a comprehensive, data-driven view on supporting our community, corporate giving and nonprofit support, see Giving USA, the annual report on charitable giving in the United States, which tracks how private industry, foundations, and individuals contribute to the nonprofit sector. Access their overview at https://givingusa.org.
Additionally, reputable business and nonprofit thought leadership have long argued that corporate social responsibility (CSR) and philanthropy offer benefits that extend beyond immediate charitable outcomes. They can improve employee engagement, attract customers who value social responsibility, and strengthen a company’s social license to operate. For an authoritative discussion of the business case for corporate giving and supporting our community and CSR, readers can consult established sources such as the Harvard Business Review and other peer-reviewed leadership publications, which explore how strategic philanthropy aligns with organizational goals and community impact.
Building lasting relationships for generations to come by supporting our community.
At the heart of our community approach is a durable, relationship-based strategy. We are committed to building long-lasting ties with nonprofits, schools, civic organizations, and local leaders. Our approach includes:
Consistent engagement: We participate in community events, volunteer with local programs, and maintain open channels of communication with nonprofit partners to understand evolving needs.
Strategic alignment: Our giving and involvement are guided by a clear sense of purpose—supporting youth development, education, health, and economic opportunity—so that our efforts are coherent and scalable.
Capacity-building investments: We support organizations in ways that strengthen their ability to serve their communities, whether through governance, facilities improvements, or capital campaigns.
Generational continuity: By cultivating enduring partnerships with families, students, and community institutions, we ensure that the positive impact continues long after any single project or campaign.
The value of supporting our community via long-term relationships is not only measured in dollars but in the quality of engagement, the trust that develops among community members, and the measurable outcomes that improve lives over time. When Costo Construction commits to being present in a community for the long haul, we are signaling that we believe in the people, the potential, and the promise of generational progress.
Our ongoing commitments in practice

Leverage expertise for good: Our engineering, project management, and construction experience inform how we support nonprofits—ensuring that every intervention is practical, durable, and impactful.
Empower employees: We invite team members to participate in volunteering and charitable initiatives, giving them avenues to contribute their time and talents in alignment with their personal values.
Measure and evolve: We regularly assess the impact of our giving program, update our priorities as community needs shift, and seek opportunities to deepen our involvement.
