Taking a first look at this article, I'm not sure this non-profit is notable. Citations 1, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are primary sources. References 2 and 7 are brief mentions and quotes. This source has more about them, but an individual lighthouse, as oppose to the society, appears to be the focus of the article. I see that the organization has a budget of $700,000. We don't use revenue as a measure of notability per se, but it would be extremely rare for any organization with income of $700,000 annually to be notable.
