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.

Ameriprise Financial Grantmaking

At Ameriprise Financial, giving back is deeply rooted in our culture. We’ve initiated positive change in the communities where we live and work for more than 120 years. We believe our community involvement enables us to actively live our values. Through grant making, volunteerism and employee and financial advisor gift matching programs, we support a diverse group of over 6,000 nonprofits across the country.

Focus Areas

Awarding grant dollars to nonprofits is one way we strengthen our communities and help individuals on a path to financial independence. To ensure we're meeting the needs of our communities and making an even greater collective impact, we focus on three key giving areas when awarding grants.

Volunteer engagement is a priority across all focus areas:

The engagement of Ameriprise employees and financial advisors is a critical component of our philanthropy. Whether it’s serving on a nonprofit board, engaging friends, clients and community members in volunteering or providing skills-based support, our relationships with nonprofits go deep. For this reason, we give priority across all focus areas to applications where there is active volunteer engagement of Ameriprise advisors and employees. 

Meeting Basic Needs

At Ameriprise Financial, we help clients achieve financial security and peace of mind. That’s satisfying, meaningful work. We also help the people in our neighborhoods who struggle to meet basic needs such as where their next meal comes from, where they’ll sleep tonight or how they’ll find a higher wage job. We’re here to help them through the three platforms of our Meeting Basic Needs focus area.

Consideration is given to applications addressing the following: 

• Hunger
• Food banks, food shelves and food pantries, daily meal programs or meal services for the homebound
• Hunger-relief programs targeted to meet the special needs of children, ethnic populations or veterans
• Food programs run by nonprofits where hunger is not their sole focus, for example a youth meal program at the YWCA or a backpack program run by a Boys & Girls Club
• Shelter
• Emergency shelter, including youth homelessness
• Transitional housing, permanent supportive housing and efforts to end chronic homelessness
• Housing-first models (programs quickly providing housing and then addressing needed services)
• Achieving and maintaining home ownership, repair and maintenance efforts helping keep seniors, veterans and other populations in their homes 
• Adult Self-Sufficiency: Programs serving adults age 21 and older that help address the following areas:
• Basic hard and soft skills that help adults achieve economic and family stability
• Basic financial and budgeting skills
• Increase employability and wages, including work readiness and job transitions
• Employment of disabled adults

Supporting Community Vitality

We believe communities should be strong, healthy and resilient. We want livable places for all, where neighbors look out for one another, cultural events are well-attended and people pull together in times of crisis and joy. We work to create economic vitality and cultural enrichment through the following areas of focus.

Consideration is given to applications addressing the following: 

• Community Development
• Neighborhood revitalization
• Economic development
• Strengthening and supporting small businesses and nonprofits through technical expertise
• Cultural Enrichment
• Arts education
• Access for underserved populations
• Diverse artists and performances that spark topical community conversations 

Volunteer Driven Causes: Ameriprise employees and financial advisors are outstanding volunteers who serve in teams and also as individuals bringing personal skill-sets to nonprofits. Volunteering is part of the culture at Ameriprise and we are proud to support communities through contributions of both service and financial resources. 

Funding for Volunteer-Driven Causes is determined by current Ameriprise volunteerism. In general, funding is in proportion to the size of the Ameriprise volunteer team supporting a nonprofit. A team may include employees, financial advisors and/or staff or a combination of any Ameriprise volunteers.

Ramiro Cortes Scholarship

The Ramiro Cortés Memorial Music Scholarship honors the life and achievement of Ramiro Cortés (1933-1984), the first Mexican-American to earn an international reputation as a composer of classical music. The Cortés scholarship has been entirely funded by the free-will offerings of audiences at a series of scholarship benefit concerts in Wenatchee and Leavenworth. The founder and Artistic Director of the concert series is Steve Stefanides of Wenatchee; he first became acquainted with the music of this remarkable composer when researching repertoire for a graduate school masterclass performance.

Ramiro Cortés was born in Dallas, Texas, on November 25, 1933 to Ramiro Cortés, Sr. and Elvira Cortés (née Acosta). A gifted pianist, he began formal study of music composition during high school in Denver, Colorado with the master lutenist and student of Paul Hindemith, Joseph Iadone. Cortés continued his work with Iadone at the University of Denver with a full-tuition scholarship; he then went on to study at Yale and the University of Southern California with a series of important twentieth century American composers, including Henry Cowell, Richard Donovan, Ingolf Dahl, Vittorio Giannini, Roger Sessions and Halsey Stevens. Cortés’ preparatory period culminated in a Fulbright Fellowship which took him to Rome to study for two years with the Italian composer Goffredo Petrassi. He worked briefly in the 1960s as a computer programmer, and after completion of his graduate studies at Juilliard taught composition at the University of California, Los Angeles (1966–67), University of Southern California (1967–72) and the University of Utah (1972–84), where he was Chair of Music Theory. He died of heart failure in Salt Lake city on July 2, 1984. His papers (including compositions) are held in archive by the University of Utah.

PLTW Computer Science - New Program (Phillips 66)

Phillips 66 invests in expanding access to quality education, because literacy and workforce preparedness are the foundation of individual achievement and our economic future. To help strengthen the future STEM workforce, we support academic training and educational opportunities that encourage broader participation, especially among students who have historically had fewer opportunities in these fields. Middle school is a time of exploration, a time when students are figuring out what they're passionate about today and how that relates to who they'll become tomorrow.

Phillips 66 has partnered with Project Lead The Way to support PLTW Gateway programs in middle schools and Engineering and Computer Science in high schools in Phillips 66 communities. PLTW courses empower students to experience and see a range of STEM pathways and possibilities in high school and beyond.

PLTW Computer Science - Program Expansion (Phillips 66)

Phillips 66 invests in expanding access to quality education, because literacy and workforce preparedness are the foundation of individual achievement and our economic future. To help strengthen the future STEM workforce, we support academic training and educational opportunities that encourage broader participation, especially among students who have historically had fewer opportunities in these fields. Middle school is a time of exploration, a time when students are figuring out what they're passionate about today and how that relates to who they'll become tomorrow.

Phillips 66 has partnered with Project Lead The Way to support PLTW Gateway programs in middle schools and Engineering and Computer Science in high schools in Phillips 66 communities. PLTW courses empower students to experience and see a range of STEM pathways and possibilities in high school and beyond. Through this partnership, Phillips 66 is supporting PLTW grants to schools interested in starting and expanding PLTW programs beginning in the 2026-2027 academic year. Preference will be given to schools with majority high-need student population as determined by percent of students eligible for the free and reduced lunch program.

Grantee must use their grant funds to expand their existing PLTW Computer Science program. Example expansion activities include but are not limited to adding an additional PLTW Computer Science course not previously offered, and/or adding additional class periods of an existing PLTW Computer Science courses previously offered, and/or training additional teachers in PLTW Computer Science courses for the 2026.
