Applications are now open for the 10th annual GivingTuesday in the Copper Country organized by Copper Shores Community Health Foundation. Applications are due Tuesday, August 25, 2026.
GivingTuesday happens on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, this year on December 1, as a way for the community to give back to the nonprofit organizations that make Baraga, Houghton, Keweenaw and Ontonagon Counties more healthful. With a boost from Copper Shores’ #GiveCopperCountry Amplification Fund, more than $5.8 million has been raised for nonprofits through community donations since 2017.
Nonprofits interested in raising money for their cause need to have someone associated with the organization complete the application. In addition to answering some basic questions, Copper Shores requires that nonprofits submit their license to solicit while filling out the application. If this filing is not current, Copper Shores will also need proof of granted time extension or proof of submission.
The deadline to apply is Tuesday, August 25, 2026. If you have any questions, contact Copper Shores at 1 (906) 523-5920 or info@coppershores.org.
