Save the Sound
Action for our region's environment
Save the Sound (formerly Connecticut Fund for the Environment/Save the Sound) has been making transformative environmental change in Connecticut and around Long Island Sound for more than 40 years, using science, the law, and people power to protect and restore the region's land, air, and water. Our mission is to protect and improve the land, air and water of Connecticut and Long Island Sound. Our team of experts monitors and analyzes coastal water quality, reopens rivers to migratory fish, enforces laws to protect drinking water, and more. Our programs include Green Projects (Habitat Restoration, Green Infrastructure, Living Shorelines and Coastal Cleanup), Western Long Island Sound Program, Climate and Energy, and Forest, Island and Coastal Protection programs. Our programs primarily benefit the public in Connecticut and coastal New York.

- DonateStock is the trusted facilitator of charitable gifts of securities, crypto and other non-cash assets for more than 10,000 nonprofits and donors.
- To better serve our stock and crypto donors, we host giving pages (like this one) so they can donate securities and crypto to other nonprofits from their DonateStock account.
- As this specific nonprofit has not yet registered with us, the donation will be processed and paid by Donatestock Charitable, Inc, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
- Once the gift is initiated, we will contact the nonprofit beneficiary to inform them of the gift and arrange payment.
- After the gift is received, we will provide a tax receipt to the donor and send the proceeds, gift details and donor information to the nonprofit beneficiary.
- Payments are normally sent via ACH within 2 weeks of receiving the shares or crypto. If we cannot reach the nonprofit beneficiary within 30 days, we will remit payment by check.
