The Fund in the Sun Foundation was established in 2006 as a not-for-profit public charity dedicated to Fire Island Pines. The foundation’s mission is twofold: First, to provide funding for projects and initiatives designed to protect, enhance and maintain the environment, cultural life, health and infrastructure of the Fire Island Pines community; Second, to makes grants to other charitable organizations whose purposes and activities are of interest to the residents of Fire Island Pines, specifically those who lack the infrastructure to initiate major fund-raising for their survival.
