Questions and Answers

Lighthouse100 is an exclusive giving circle of 100 members who each contribute $1,100 annually to collectively fund impactful local nonprofit grants.

Each annual contribution is structured to support pooled grantmaking, member events, and general organizational expenses. Lighthouse100 is a 100% voluntary organization.

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.

Membership is open to individuals who support the mission and can commit to the annual contribution. Members from our communities are welcome.

Members are encouraged to participate in events, reviews, and voting, but the core annual commitment is straightforward: contribute, stay informed, and cast one vote.

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.

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.
