Applications have officially opened for Copper Shores Community Health Foundation's #GivingTuesday. Nonprofit organizations who are interested in partaking in the 7th annual #GiveCopperCountry are encouraged to apply.
#GivingTuesday happens on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, November 28 this year, as a way for the community to give back to the nonprofit organizations that make Houghton, Keweenaw, Baraga, and Ontonagon counties more healthful. Copper Shores Community Health Foundation will match a portion of community donations.
To be eligible, an organization must be a charitable nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) IRS determination, provide their certified financial audit and/or 990, must be current with their tax status and have their License to Solicit, must not be a religious or educational institution, have a mission related to Copper Shores's Strategic Goals and Objectives or raise funds for a specific project that relates to those pillars and the organization must be domiciled in Baraga, Houghton, Keweenaw or Ontonagon counties.
The application is identical to last year’s application, so it won’t take our hopeful nonprofit partners long to fill out. Nonprofits are reminded to submit their license to solicit (if applicable) and their last filed 990 with the IRS. If this filing is not current, we will also need proof of granted time extension.
The application is live now at coppershores.org/givingtuesday. Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, October 9, 2023. If you have any questions, contact the Copper Shores Community Health Foundation at (906) 523-5920 or info@coppershores.org.
