Communities rise to support their members. People rise to meet challenges. Rise by Bozzuto amplifies our impact.
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.
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.
By supporting the meaningful work of these incredible nonprofits, we’re able to reach those who need it most and positively impact their lives right now.
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.
At the heart of Rise's commitment to exceptional leadership, our 3rd Annual ERG & Rise Leadership Summit emerged as a transformative gathering that celebrated the extraordinary individuals driving our organizational culture. The summit brought together our most outstanding Rise Community Champions and employee resource group (ERG) leaders, creating a powerful network of talent, passion and purpose. To our leaders who continue to champion change, drive innovation, and uplift our community—this day was a celebration of you.
Thank you for being the heartbeat of our organization.
In our fourth year of Rise by Bozzuto, we unite as One Bozzuto to create positive change in the world and communities in which we live, work and play.
- During our 35 Years of Service initiative with Rebuilding Together, associates repaired and revitalized homes and community spaces across ten of our markets.
- Through our Backpack Drive associates, residents and partners donated over 2,200 backpacks filled with school supplies. The backpacks were donated to 66 clubs across the U.S.
- Bozzuto’s 86 summer interns volunteered with different charitable organizations across our markets.
- At the end of the year, our associates packed more than 200,000 pounds of food at 13 food banks and shelters across the country. And 180 of our communities collected more than 10,000 cans of food donated to local food banks and shelters.
The reach of Rise by Bozzuto would not be possible without our Community Champions. These incredible leaders are employees from across the entire company who launch initiatives for their fellow team members, residents and partners in their region and are empowered to build relationships with local organizations to help bring the long-term goals of Rise to fruition.
