Our History
Joe selflessly gave his life in caring for his patients in the ICU of Mercy Medical Center during the Covid pandemic in the United States.
We currently are in the process of securing our 5013c as many friends, colleagues, neighbors, classmates, and complete strangers yet fellow human beings have expressed an interest in supporting those organizations and causes which Joe was passionate about. Some of those include Mercy Health Foundation, Bridges at the St. Paul Schools, and Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA).
Joe was both a macro and micro philanthropist. He gave of himself constantly – his time, talent, and treasure and we seek to honor his memory and legacy through continuing his quiet yet targeted philanthropy.
We look forward to keeping you informed. If you would like to make a donation please make your check payable to The Joseph J. Costa Charitable Trust and mail your check to 135 West Lanvale Street, Baltimore, MD 21217
