From inception, the Club has made contributions, from accumulated excess funds, to causes and educational programs associated with the copper industry. However, at the Board of Directors meeting on Sept. 16, 1994, it was proposed and voted that all excess funds be used to establish a Grants Program to assist exceptional students preparing for careers in fields related to maintenance and expansion of the copper industry.
The criterion for the Grants, which are $10,000 each, is academic excellence and need of financial assistance. Accordingly, the Copper Club Educational Fund was established in 1994 and it has been administered by members of the Club's Executive/Finance Committee.
To date, 41 grants have been awarded. In 1995, companies with which many of our members are associated, graciously commenced contributing to the fund. With these contributions and, hopefully many more, we are striving to build an annuity, in perpetuity, which will assure sufficient funds for eight grants per year.
On August 17, 2000, the Copper Club (a complex trust) and the Copper Club Educational Fund, Inc. (a not-for-profit corporation) were merged and the surviving entity renamed The Copper Club, Inc. (a charitable organization) which best serves the interest of the club and its members.
