Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity has been selected as the Greater Green Bay area nonprofit partner for CoVantage Credit Union’s 10th anniversary Giving Tuesday campaign, which runs December 2–16 at CoVantage branches and online. During the two‑week effort, donations made in support of Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity through CoVantage Cares Foundation will be matched dollar‑for‑dollar up to $10,000, with the potential to receive additional matching funds from a $200,000 campaign‑wide match pool.

CoVantage Cares Foundation’s annual Giving Tuesday campaign has raised more than $3.2 million over the past decade to support nonprofits across Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois that address basic needs and strengthen local communities. This year, CoVantage aims to raise $650,000 across its footprint—its most ambitious Giving Tuesday goal yet.

Funds raised locally through the campaign will support Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity’s Homeownership Program, which partners with qualified Habitat homebuyers in Brown County to build decent, affordable homes. Future homeowners complete 250–500 sweat‑equity hours alongside volunteers and participate in homebuyer education to prepare for long‑term success in homeownership.

“Being chosen as CoVantage Credit Union’s Giving Tuesday nonprofit is an incredible honor for our Habitat for Humanity mission and the future homeowners we serve,” said Jessica Diederich, CEO, Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity. “This match opportunity means every gift can go even further toward building safe, affordable homes and helping more families in Brown County achieve strength, stability, and self‑reliance through homeownership.”

From December 2–16, community members can support Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity’s Giving Tuesday campaign in several ways. Donations can be made at the Green Bay and Suamico CoVantage Credit Union branches, through the MyCoVantage mobile app, or online via CoVantage’s Giving Tuesday donation platform. Every dollar donated through the campaign during this period will be matched by CoVantage Cares Foundation, multiplying the impact for families in need of affordable housing.

“This 10th year is a testament to the power of community and compassion,” said Charlie Zanayed, CEO of CoVantage Credit Union and president of the CoVantage Cares Foundation Board. “We’ve seen firsthand how generosity can transform lives. This campaign is more than just giving − it’s about building stronger, more resilient communities together.

Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity builds and sells affordable homes to qualified Habitat homebuyers in Brown County, empowering individuals and families to build generational wealth and stability.
