Lighthouse Navigation: R&D and Beta Extension

Your support will make a new navigation structure happen with practical benefits across the community:

  • For everyday users: clearer menu structure, global search, and quick-create actions to make common tasks easier to complete
  • For admins: a cleaner structure reduces confusion, separates routine work from configuration, and makes training simpler
  • For implementers: configurable navigation makes it easier to tailor CiviCRM to each organization’s needs
  • For developers: a more flexible framework makes the menu easier to extend and maintain.
  • For the whole community: a modern interface with feature parity to other CRMs will help CiviCRM feel approachable to new users to drive increased adoption.

But improvements like this do not happen automatically; it takes organizations that rely on CiviCRM to invest in its future, especially in the age of AI disruption. Now is the time to have a hand in making it better for everyone.

The roadmap is organized into two major phases, delivered through five staged milestones. This Phase 1 ($13K) establishes the direction and a usable public beta extension you can install. Phase 2 builds on that foundation as funding allows. And your participation through feedback is welcome all along the way!
