We believe Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an integral business practice that allows us to effect change and make a positive impact on people’s lives. Rise by Bozzuto, our strategic social impact program, unites Bozzuto employees, residents, partners and clients around a common purpose and provides cohesive ways to give back within our communities.

Sanctuary for All

Our Pillars

The core of Rise by Bozzuto revolves around making a tangible difference in communities facing homelessness and housing challenges. Our supporting pillars are youth development and social & environmental impact. Bozzuto employees were influential in choosing these strategic pillars, which serve as the guide for our charitable and philanthropic efforts.

Spring Volunteering with Rise

Inspired by Toby's 2025 word of the year—Impact—Rise by Bozzuto has transformed commitment into action. This spring, our associates mobilized across 19 markets, demonstrating dedication to community service through impactful initiatives: Earth Day Cleanups, Rebuild Days with Rebuilding Together and a special partnership in the D.C., Maryland and Virginia area with A Wider Circle. Nearly 500 team members united with a mission: to make a tangible difference in the communities we serve.

Spring 2025 became a milestone month for Rise, with record-breaking participation that underscored our collective power to create meaningful change. What began as a corporate initiative quickly became a grassroots movement of compassion, collaboration, and genuine impact.
Our Earth Day volunteer outings touched our markets from coast to coast. Rise by Bozzuto partnered with 13 new and existing partners during this initiative and welcomed North Carolina and Tennessee with their first Rise initiatives!

Overall, the month of April saw record-breaking numbers with participation, partnerships and impact.
