Beacon by BrightWay

Hey everyone! I'm Zach, the maker behind Beacon. I kept talking to development directors at small nonprofits who all had the same story: they're wearing five hats, a grant deadline is looming, and they're staring at a blank doc at 9pm trying to figure out where to start. The tools that exist are either too basic (generic AI that doesn't know your org) or too complex (enterprise platforms built for grants departments, not a 2-person team). So I built Beacon to sit in the middle. You paste the RFP, it pulls from your actual programs and impact data, and you get a real first draft without the generic filler. No pipeline to set up, no CRM integrations to configure. The goal is simple: turn a week of writing into an afternoon so small teams can compete for funding without burning out. Would love your feedback—and if you know someone at a nonprofit who lives this pain, send them my way!
