Ways to Give
NH LAKES is a growing community of people who are passionate about New Hampshire’s lakes. You are invited to find your place with us today—everyone has a part to play.
The most irrational thing we can do is pretend the lakes will take care of themselves.
NH LAKES is a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization (TIN# 22-2668396). Read our donor privacy policy here.
Become a Lake Keeper
Lake Keepers are special people, just like you, who make automated monthly donations as their way to keep New Hampshire’s lakes clean and healthy.
Lake Keepers are NH LAKES’ secret weapon against the threats our lakes face. You can join a growing number of individuals who are alarmed by the increasing number of factors threatening to change our lakes forever with a monthly donation.
Becoming a Lake Keeper is simple, convenient, and environmentally friendly! Lake Keepers are also eligible to win prizes all year long and are automatically entered into all NH LAKES chance drawings. Lake Keepers also receive an exclusive gift!
You are invited to join the NH LAKES Legacy Society. It could be the most important charitable gift you ever make.
You know NH LAKES’ work will never be done. The need to protect the health of these precious resources, our lakes, will outlive us all. Leaving a gift in your Will or estate plans is an ever-lasting act of generosity. It is a gift that delivers on the promise of leaving behind a legacy.
The next time you review your estate documents, let your advisor know you are interested in ensuring the lakes of New Hampshire remain clean and healthy for future generations.
We should be named as:
New Hampshire Lakes Association, Inc.
17 Chenell Drive, Suite One
Concord, NH 03301
Our tax identification number is 22-2668396.
If you have already included NH LAKES in your Will or estate plans or intend to do so, please contact Martha Lovejoy, Director of Finance and Development, at 603.226.0299 or mlovejoy@nhlakes.org and let her know!

There are a couple of tax advantageous ways you can use your IRA to care for New Hampshire’s fragile lakes. And, you don’t have to be over 70 ½ to act.
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD)
If you are 70 ½ or older, you can make a Qualified Distribution to NH LAKES from your traditional or Roth IRA. It is an efficient way to support what matters most to you.
- You direct donations of up to $100,000 from your traditional or Roth IRA directly to NH LAKES. It can be a one-time or recurring gift.
- The gift goes directly to NH LAKES and will not be counted as your income.
QCDs made directly to NH LAKES can satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution or exceed it, reduce your income taxes, AND help protect the health of New Hampshire’s lakes.
Name New Hampshire’s Lakes as Your IRA Beneficiary
You can help solve the problems our lakes have in the future by naming NH LAKES as the beneficiary of your IRA. This generous act is easy. If you have questions or if you have taken step, please contact Martha Lovejoy, Director of Finance and Development at 603-226-0299 or mlovejoy@nhlakes.org.
