What is Lighthouse100?
Lighthouse100 is an exclusive giving circle of 100 members who each contribute $1,100 annually to collectively fund impactful local nonprofit grants.
What does the annual contribution support?
Each annual contribution is structured to support pooled grantmaking, member events, and general organizational expenses. Lighthouse100 is a 100% voluntary organization.
How are grants selected?
Nonprofits apply through the grant process, a review committee evaluates applications, semi-finalists are selected, and members vote to help determine the annual grant recipient.
Who can become a member?
Membership is open to individuals who support the mission and can commit to the annual contribution. Members from our communities are welcome.
How active do members need to be?
Members are encouraged to participate in events, reviews, and voting, but the core annual commitment is straightforward: contribute, stay informed, and cast one vote.
How does voting work?
Each current member receives one secure vote during the annual grant ballot process. Voting is handled through the member portal and tied to the active membership year.
Can membership renew automatically?
Auto-renew enrollment is planned. The one-time membership and renewal checkout flow is active now, and the recurring Stripe subscription flow will be enabled once Stripe subscription configuration is completed.
