Individuals have often approached the Trustees and expressed interest in helping maintain public projects on Trustee properties that have been dropped from municipal budgets due to cutbacks or other reasons.   

 

The Trustees would like to inform individuals that the Trustees of the Freeholders and Commonalty of the Town of East Hampton, as a government body, will accept donations of monies or property.

 

If you are interested in a project and would like to donate to the Trustees, please contact the Clerk of the East Hampton Town Trustees by telephone

 

Due to the changing nature of the spectrum of projects that take place on Trustee properties, the Trustees are not able to maintain separate accounts or records for each project. Nevertheless,individuals are encouraged to express their reasons for making a donation to the Board.   

 

The Internal Revenue Service has not made a determination as to whether donations to the Trustees of the Freeholders and Commonalty of the Town of East Hampton are deductible.
