Where will your donation be directed? Below are just a few projects that need immediate funding.

Beach erosion

Severe storms during 2023 and 2024 have claimed much of the sand along Easton’s beach. The beach is an important tourist destination and recreational location for residents. The beach also protects Easton’s Pond which is the primary fresh water supply for the City. Urgent repairs are needed and resilience elements built into the beach to sustain the storms ahead. Help us save Easton’s Beach.

If you have ever visited Newport you have likely gone shopping or dined at one of the great restaurants along Bowen’s Wharf.  During a king tide in 2023 the wharf area was under 6 inches of water.  A storm surge from a hurricane would submerge many businesses and overwhelm the city’s water management system.  Help us save Bowen’s wharf.

Rising tides

While much of Newport may seem leafy to tourists there are sections of the city that were former industrial sites, absent any trees.  Tree planting is not only good for the environment it helps lower sidewalk and roadway temperatures which helps extend the life of those important parts of the city’s infrastructure.
