Ways to Support ELPTF

The Foundation is a non-profit organization whose donations are tax-deductible. In the course of our efforts in the public trust we have been pleased to receive the support of over 3,000 donors. There are a number of ways you can support our mission.

  • Commemorative plaques installed along the railings of the Niantic Bay Boardwalk and Beach in conjunction with East Lyme Parks and Recreation Program.

  • Starting in 2005, during our first offering of benches, 200 benches have been sponsored on the Boardwalk. This is a new opportunity to remember loved ones, weddings, anniversaries, births, and graduations.
