The Long Island Sound Collaborative is a diverse group of funders with missions that include the protection and restoration of the Long Island Sound. Initially created to align grantmaking around the protection and restoration of the Sound, the Collaborative has focused on understanding the myriad of issues facing this tidal estuary and identifying possible solutions.
The goal is to have a greater impact by pooling our knowledge, expertise, relationships, and funding. These efforts have resulted in annual Long Island Sound Report Cards and an ongoing Unified Water Study initiative, which have subsequently been funded by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Today, the collaborative continues its commitment to support projects that address pressing challenges and provide for a healthy, productive, and resilient Sound now and into the future. All the grants and work from the collaborative fall within any part of the Long Island Sound watershed in the states of Connecticut and New York as shown on the LISSF Boundary Map .
