Hope at the Lake is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to improving the lives of our Lake Norman neighbors in need. Our mission is to facilitate a “community of caring” by connecting compassionate donors with immediate community need.
The organization was started over 20 years ago in memory of a member of The Point community. Our initial mission was to focus on the “3 C’s”: Defeating Cancer, Community Service, and Supporting Children. As our mission evolved, we were introduced to even more community need across the Lake Norman area, and today we focus on stewarding our supporters’ dollars to meet the greatest needs first.
Since our founding, Hope at the Lake has had the privilege of awarding $2 million in grants to more than 100 partner charities. We look forward to having you join us in this mission!
