Welcome to the Anthony Costa Foundation
Enduring prosperity for our family, our colleagues and the communities where we live and work.
The Anthony Costa Foundation is a family foundation established to support the philanthropy of the Anthony and Elaine Costa and Robert and Rita Costa families. The Foundation seeks to make a positive impact in the communities where our families live and work.
History
In 2015, at the same time as forming Costa Asset Management Pty Ltd, brothers Robert and Anthony, together with their families founded a charitable foundation as a legacy to their forebears and an appreciation to the community in which they live.
In February 2017, Anthony passed away suddenly, leaving a huge void in the family, the business and the community.
As a testimony to Anthony’s pivotal role in the creation of what we know as “Costa” and his own invaluable contribution to society and the lives of all those who knew him, the families resolved to name the Foundation in his honour, helping to continue his legacy in the same spirit in which he lived.
Today
The Anthony Costa Foundation continues to evolve in its work with the family, its partners and the community. Below are the Foundation’s current Focus Areas:
