Lake Host Charitable Giving Program

Help Protect Your Happy Place!

The NH LAKES Lake Host Charitable Giving Program helps our local partners participating in the Lake Host Program to raise funds from individuals and businesses for the Lake Host payroll expenses at their lake or pond.

Many groups in the Lake Host Program are volunteer-run and do not have 501(c)(3) status. As a donor to this program, you will receive a thank you letter, receipt, and assurance that 100% of your contribution will be dedicated to the NH LAKES Lake Host payroll for the local Lake Host Program you designate.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Lake Host Charitable Giving Program:

Is NH LAKES a 501(c)(3) organization?

Yes! All donations through the Lake Host Charitable Giving program receive a receipt for tax purposes.

NH LAKES is an exempt organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code.

My lake group isn’t listed on the form. Can I still donate to my lake?

If your lake group isn’t listed on the form, it’s possible they are not participating in the Lake Host Program and, therefore, would be unable to receive donations to support their payroll. For questions, please get in touch with us at info@nhlakes.org.

Can I remain anonymous?

Yes, there is an option to remain anonymous on our donation form. Only your donation amount will be reported to the local lake organization that operates the Lake Host program at that lake.

Can I send a check to my local lake group, and they can send it to you?

To establish donor intent, receive a tax receipt, and ensure your donation is designated to the appropriate Lake Host program, we require using our online donation form or mailing your check with the PDF form available here.
