Why give through Copper Shores?
Donations made during #GiveCopperCountry, Copper Shores' GivingTuesday campaign, will go further with help from Copper Shores' $200,000 Amplification Fund. Many nonprofits rely greatly on donors from GivingTuesday, making now the perfect time to find a cause close to your heart.
Every penny donated to an organization goes to that organization. Copper Shores has contributed more than $3 million in donations to local nonprofit organizations in the Houghton, Keweenaw, Baraga, and Ontonagon counties through eight years of GivingTuesday.
Why give for GivingTuesday?
Donations made to #GiveCopperCountry during GivingTuesday get amplified by Copper Shores. The foundation is amplifying donations, dollar-for-dollar up to $200,000. If more than $200,000 is donated, nonprofits will receive a portion of the $200,000 equal to the proportion of total GivingTuesday donations they receive.
What is GivingTuesday?
Held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, GivingTuesday has grown to be the single largest day of fundraising for charities and organizations throughout the nation. Serving as a kick-off to the holiday giving season, and a day of radical generosity, individuals can give back to the community and donate to the organizations that mean the most to them.

Donations open on Tuesday, November 12. To receive an email notification when donations are being accepted, subscribe to the monthly Copper Shores email newsletter.
