Contributions to this fund, managed by the Community Foundation for Nantucket, will support our educational and charitable initiatives.
Among other things, the money raised through this fund will be used to educate and raise awareness about light pollution, encourage compliance with Nantucket’s outdoor lighting bylaw, and help property owners comply with it by providing practical guidance, product recommendations, and financial assistance to those who need it.
These initiatives will, in turn, support efforts to have Nantucket certified as an International Dark Sky Community and retain that status.
Creation of this fund was made possible by a generous grant from the ReMain Nantucket Fund to cover the initial deposit requirement, for which we are very grateful.
Donations to this fund are tax deductible.
