Lighthouse started with a question: Why are nonprofits so hard to find?

 

For founder Mackenzie Langley, this question wasn’t just theoretical—it was personal. After a life-altering car accident left her paralyzed, Mackenzie struggled to find the resources she needed. That experience exposed her to a frustrating reality: resources were available, but navigating them was complicated, disconnected, and inefficient.

 

Determined to solve this problem, Mackenzie set out to build a tool that would help individuals more easily find and access nonprofit services. But as she worked alongside nonprofit leaders—listening to their challenges, learning from their experiences, and staying open to new insights—she realized the issue ran even deeper. Nonprofits themselves often struggled to get the resources their communities needed. Organizations were working in silos, duplicating efforts, and missing opportunities to collaborate. If nonprofits had a better way to connect, share resources, and work together, they could serve more people, more effectively.

 

That realization led to Lighthouse—a platform designed to make nonprofit collaboration the norm, not the exception. By facilitating real-time resource-sharing and partnerships, Lighthouse ensures that nonprofits are better equipped to meet needs, maximize impact, and build stronger communities.

 

Since launching, the Lighthouse team has listened, learned, and pivoted, all while building a powerful network of change-makers. Through it all, one truth has remained clear: When nonprofits collaborate, the community does better.
