Support

More than 90% of the Group’s annual revenue is generated through contributions from individuals and foundations. Without these donations, we would not be able to protect eastern Long Island’s drinking water, defend the natural environment from harmful development, or educate thousands of children and adults how to live more sustainably.

FOUR STARS FOR THE GROUP

A four-star rating from Charity Navigator – the highest possible – means Group for the East End is more financially healthy, accountable, and transparent than most environmental protection and conservation organizations.

Remember the Group in Your Financial Planning

Gift of Securities

You can reduce or even eliminate capital gains taxes by donating securities. Any publicly traded stock that has increased in value and you have owned for more than a year may provide greater tax benefits than giving cash. 

Charitable Contribution from an IRA

If you are at least 70 1/2, take a distribution from your Individual Retirement Account and donate it to Group for the East End, you may be able to exclude that distribution amount from your income, up to $100,000 per person.

Bequest

Protect the East End for future generations by including Group for the East End in your estate plans, whether in your will, a trust or insurance policy.
