Connecting caring communities and companies on Long Island
Newsday’s Together Long Island is a grassroots movement to bring companies, causes and communities together to build a better Long Island. It serves as a forum for celebrating community activism, corporate social responsibility, and charitable contribution. Long Island companies, such as the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), have seen the need and are stepping up their efforts as founding partners in Newsday’s Together Long Island initiative.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority works to promote energy efficiency, renewable energy, and emissions reduction across New York’s economy and energy system. Since our founding in 1975, NYSERDA’s mission, vision, and programs are continually evolving to improve the lives of New Yorkers. In addition to supporting clean energy and technologies, we’re working to advance equity and inclusivity, jobs and economic development, public health, and community resilience through our work. Collectively, these efforts are key to developing a cleaner, more reliable, and affordable energy system for all New Yorkers.
