Transparency Portal

You Shouldn't Have to Wonder What Your Board Is Doing.

As a member of an organization, you're affected by your board's decisions every single day, but half the time you have no idea what those decisions even are. That's not how it's supposed to work.

You're Not Alone

Sound Familiar?

A key decision was made behind closed doors and never communicated
You heard rumors about budget problems, but the board doesn't share financials
Dues went up and nobody explained why
You don't even know who's on the board right now
The last meeting minutes you saw were from two years ago

Most boards aren't hiding things on purpose. They're just overwhelmed, stretched thin, and running on tools that were never built for transparency. Board Beacon fixes that, for the board and for you.

Stay Informed

Your Own Private Window Into Your Board.

When your board uses Board Beacon, every member of the organization gets access to the Transparency Portal, a curated window into what your board is working on. Enough info to stay informed and feel confident about what's happening, without getting buried in the details. And it's not just a place to watch. You can sign up for volunteer opportunities, fill out forms, vote on community decisions, and message board members directly, all in one place, without tracking down an email address or waiting for the next meeting. Here's what you can see:

🗳️

Votes & Decisions

See what your board has voted on and what was decided, and participate in community votes directly from your portal.

📅

Meeting Minutes

Access notes from board meetings.

💰

Financials

Understand where your dues, donations, or fees are going.

💬

Direct Communication

Submit requests and feedback directly to the board.

🙋

Volunteer Sign-Ups

👥

Board Member Directory

Know who's on the board, their role, and how to reach them.

The board controls exactly what's visible. Every feature can be toggled on or off by the board chair.

Here's Where You Come In

Your Board Needs to Hear About This. We'll Help You Tell Them.

Board Beacon only works if your board is using it. And boards move faster when someone they trust makes the ask. That someone could be you. We've made it as easy as possible. Below is a pre-written message you can send directly to a member of your board. Edit it, personalize it, or send it as-is.

A tool I think our board should consider

Hi [Board Member Name], I came across a platform called Board Beacon. It's board management software built specifically for volunteer boards like ours. It handles votes, meeting agendas and minutes, document storage, communication and more, all in one place. What also caught my attention is a feature called the Transparency Portal that gives the rest of the organization a simple view of board activity, so you don't have to spend a lot of time providing updates or answering one-off questions (the board controls what's visible and what's not). It's $300 for a full year and they offer a free 60-day trial. I think it might be a helpful tool for us. Would you be open to checking it out?
