Ways to Give
The Copper Harbor Trails thrive thanks to the generous donations and thousands of volunteer hours contributed each year by community members, CHTC supporters, and trail enthusiasts. Your donations play a crucial role in funding our efforts and keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. Building and maintaining trails is costly, especially in a remote and rugged region like ours. We also need funds for insurance, race expenses, signage, and other essential needs to keep our organization moving forward. With only 100 year-round residents, our small town can't do it all alone. Your support makes a big difference, and we truly appreciate any contribution you can provide.

Honor & Tribute Giving
Honor a loved one or celebrate a special occasion with a tribute donation to the Copper Harbor Trails. Your gift will help us maintain and expand our trail system while creating a lasting memory in their name.
Stock Donations
If you hold stocks in a brokerage account, your broker can assist you in making a gift of stock through a direct transfer to the Copper Harbor Trails Club. We will sell the appreciated stocks and use the proceeds to support our mission. Donating publicly traded stock that has appreciated in value and has been owned for over a year can provide more favorable tax benefits than a cash donation. Consider making a stock donation today to help us keep our trails thriving—reach out to start the process!
Leave a Legacy
Leave a lasting legacy with a planned gift to the Copper Harbor Trails Club. Options like bequests, charitable gift annuities, or naming us as a beneficiary in your retirement plan or life insurance policy provide essential support for our trails. Your planned gift ensures future generations can enjoy our trails and helps us continue our mission.
Volunteer
Give back to the trails by volunteering with us! CHTC hosts trail workday events where dedicated volunteers help us tackle our ‘to-do’ list and maintain top-quality riding experiences. We also need assistance at events, on committees, with our bike patrol, and in many other areas. Great trails don’t happen by accident—your support is essential, and we couldn’t do it without you.
Event Sponsorship
If your business would like to take your giving to the next level, consider sponsoring a CHTC event or race! Negotiable multi-year commitments put your brand or business front and center before a broad, dedicated audience. Reach out directly about this special opportunity.
