About CSF

Cape Shore Foundation is a 501(c)3, non-profit organization founded in 2007 by a group of friends from Cape Elizabeth, Maine. We are committed to preserving the natural habitats of New England, from the reaches of the Great North Woods to the fisheries of Narragansett Bay. We plan to support the protection of these areas by holding a variety of fundraising and educational events, and we hope that you will join us in this cause.
