Grants

Copper Shores strongly encourages all interested applicants to submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) prior to submitting a grant application.  While not required in order to apply for a grant, an LOI encourages understanding, collaboration and project development between Copper Shores and potential grant applicants.  Please approach the LOI as an abbreviated grant proposal that Copper Shores can review to determine if a project matches the foundation's funding interests and is suitable for formal grant consideration. Copper Shores will follow-up with all organizations regarding their inquiry within one month.

Copper Shores will accept applications on an on-going basis that align with Copper Shores' goals and are dependent on resources available.

Please complete the Request for Funding Application (available below). All questions must be answered. If the question does not apply to your grant, the question should be answered “not applicable.”  Make sure your application is submitted at least two months in advance of your project start date. Copper Shores will not consider incomplete applications.

All grantees, following a customized reporting schedule, must track and report to Copper Shores on their project goals and desired outcomes. The type of report required depends on the size of the grant, some organizations may need to submit multiple grant reports while others may need to submit only a follow-up report.

Copper Shores recognizes that grantees may need to make changes to their grant such as a budget or timeline amendment. In those cases, grantees are required to submit a Grant Amendment Request Form.
