About this grant
Costco Wholesale provides grants to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations supporting children, education, and health and human services in markets where Costco operates. The programme accepts two types of requests: Warehouse Donations for local organizations submitted to individual warehouses, and Grant Applications for larger broad-based organizations submitted via an online form. Organizations may submit only monetary requests and must not seek more than 10% of their program's overall budget. The review process for grant applications typically takes 4-6 weeks, with decisions based on community need, evidence-based outcomes, collaboration, financial support diversity, and budget feasibility. Decisions are communicated via postcard, letter, phone call, or email.
