Did you know only 3% of philanthropic giving goes to the environment?

According to a Giving USA 2019 report, only 3% of philanthropic giving across income levels in the United States, goes to the environment and that is up from previous years. As coronavirus persists, sea levels continue to rise, while water and air pollution levels increase. Your support is integral to the health of our local waterways and communities!

​The American Littoral Society is participating in #GivingTuesday today because we need your support. Today we celebrate the mission of promoting the study and conservation of marine life and habitat, protecting the coast from harm, and empowering others to do the same; and honor all the work that would not be possible without supporters like YOU. Now more than ever the coast, your coast, needs your help.

DONATE

Here are just a few examples of the impact your donation makes:

• $50 = Removes 13 lbs of trash from shorelines
• $100 = Restores one foot of beach
• $150 = Provides one hour of coastal education to people of all ages
• $250 = Installs one rain barrel to reduce water consumption, and mitigate non-point source pollution in streams, rivers, and bays
• $500 = Provides one million oyster larvae to restore oyster populations in NJ
• $500 = Creates 10 feet of living shoreline
• $1,000 = Buys plants to fortify 100 feet of dune
• $2,500 = Provides a day of marine education for local students 
• $5,000 = Builds 100 feet of intertidal oyster reef

Even a donation of $5 can make an impact. Click here to make a difference today.

Not only do we need your support, your help is also needed to spread the word about this important work. Forward this email to a friend who cares about marine life, clean water, and/or climate change; set up a Facebook or Instagram fundraiser; or select the American Littoral Society as your charity of choice on AmazonSmile as you finish up your holiday shopping.

THANK YOU for making this important work possible. Without you, coastal conservation would not be possible. We're thankful to have you on our team.

Sincerely,
