About Lighthouse100

A straightforward giving circle built around clarity, transparency, and local impact.

Lighthouse100 is an exclusive giving circle built around 100 members who each contribute $1,100 annually. Members review nonprofit finalists and vote to help determine funding where it can make a measurable local difference.

The core structure is simple: join, review, vote, and help fund one major annual grant for a nonprofit serving our communities.
