Empowering the Next Generation of Leaders

The Long Island Collective is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds while having fun, because building a brighter future should be as rewarding as it is impactful.

Our mission

The Long Island Collective is dedicated to empowering the next generation of leaders through community, opportunity, and purpose driven fun. We unite local residents, businesses, and organizations to raise funds for scholarships, mentorship programs, and community initiatives ensuring that financial barriers never stand in the way of ambition. With 100% of proceeds going directly back to the community and an all volunteer team, we create events and partnerships that spark connection, inspire generosity, and leave a lasting local legacy.

We are committed to transparency. So much so that our entire books for every event will be published online. This will not only serve to show you where your money is going, but also help educate you, and us, on how charities and fundraising events work. We're all in this together, and we belive, that means our data should be too.
