We are excited to announce the inception of Shred The Love Montauk Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization that will continue the East End Foundation’s 25 year tradition of supporting Montauk people with immediate needs. STLM will assume the sponsorship of the Rell Sunn Community Surf Benefit in a seamless transition that will ensure this great Montauk event continues without interruption. In addition, the creation of a nonprofit with a 501(c)(3) designation means that we can solicit and accept tax deductible donations and broaden our reach in support of the Montauk community. If you plan charitable giving at year end, a gift to Shred the Love Montauk is tax deductible.
We are set up to grow with the needs of the community, and we look forward to supporting our amazing residents. If you have any event ideas you’d like to share/chair, please contact us at shredthelovemontauk@gmail.com.
SAVE THE DATE!
The 27th Annual Rell Sunn Community Surf Benefit will be held July 12, 2025.
If you are interested in getting involved, drop a note to shredthelovemontauk@gmail.com and let us know in what area you’d like to volunteer – Raffle, Art Auction, Day of Help, Judging, Sponsorship, Food for Volunteers, PR, Advertising, anything else you can think of. If you let us know, we’ll be sure to get in touch next summer! We’d love to see new (and maybe even younger ;)) people joining in for this awesome event.
If You or Someone You Know is in Need: Please let us know if there is someone who would be impacted by our support whether with a donation or a call to the community for help. We like to have our ears on the ground and jump in as soon as we can. All support is confidential. There is a board of 5 people to ensure fair processes and best practices — and beyond that, names are never shared. Send a confidential email to shredthelovemontauk@gmail.com and a board member will be in touch.
Consider a Year End Donation: If you or your business is looking for a super worthwhile year end donation cause, please consider a donation to Shred The Love Montauk. We will supply you with all the tax deduction forms you require. It’s a great way to complete your financial profile and to help your community. Anyone who would like to donate at any time can send a Zelle to shredthelovemontauk@gmail.com as the recipient or use the QR code below from your bank. Then just email us and let us know and send your personal, or business info – name, address, phone and how much your donation was. We thank you in advance for any support you can give.
A Word of Thanks: Shred the Love Montauk is building on the exceptional stewardship of Alice Houseknecht and Roger Feit who led the East End Foundation for 25 years. Our community owes them a debt of gratitude. We are grateful that Alice has offered to be an ongoing consultant as we evaluate requests and cases. Thank you, Alice and Roger!
We welcome your input and thank you for your ongoing support.
Best Regards, Shred The Love Montauk Inc.
