How You Can Help

The only good thing about light pollution is that it is completely reversible!

Donate

A donation -- no matter how small -- will also help us achieve our goals. Our GoFundMe campaign is the easiest way to donate (for you as well as us) but if you would rather donate to us directly (by check or a wire transfer), please just shoot us an email.   

PLEASE NOTE:  
You donation WILL NOT BE TAX DEDUCTIBLE. While Nantucket Lights is a nonprofit corporation, it is a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization (rather than a 501(c)3)) to allow it to advocate for the adoption of legislation and local ordinances that will help preserve Nantucket's dark skies.  Donations to 501(c)(4) organizations are not tax deductible under IRS rules and regulations. We hope you'll still choose to donate!
