Transferring data was seamless, with excellent guidance provided by LGL. Overall, I couldn't be happier that I made the switch from DonorPerfect.

Pros

We switched from using DonorPerfect. Little Green Light is very affordable (about 1/3 the cost!) even for tiny nonprofits like ours. It's easy to use, features great reports (including many available at all times on the dashboard), with lots of flexibility. LGL also has an excellent knowledgebase, live remote Q&A sessions, and a rapid response email help line.

Cons

The interface is plain vanilla, with very few visual clues to distinguish one screen from another. But I'm nit picking.

Switched from

[DonorPerfect](https://www.capterra.com/p/2698/DonorPerfect-Fundraising-Software/)

We found DonorPerfect's interface to be clunky. It has the look and feel of an outdated and non-intuitive interface. Considering our difficulty in learning and using DP, it was also quite pricey. Finally, DP's card processor, SafeSave, a subsidiary, insisted we monitor and improve our website for PCI compliance. This, despite the fact that our site never handles or sees credit card information. At first, we were provided with free monitoring and some technical support to help our very new and small nonprofit comply. However, in any given month that our website failed their test, we were essentially fined. And just before we left DP, we were informed that we needed to start paying for this service too.

I am the Advancement Coordinator for our organization. It provides me with a wealth of information that enables me to assess our fundraising activity, generate a variety of reports for our Board, and assists us organizing and communicating with our volunteer constituency.

Pros

It is by far, the most user-friendly CRM software that I've used. It makes the job of organizing and maintaining a donor database extremely easy. It synchs beautifully with Quick Books, making the gift entry process very easy. Customer support is superb. Finally, it is a great value for the money - worth every penny, uh, sorry, dollar.

Cons

I can't think of anything that I don't like about LGL. In five years of using it, I haven't had one negative experience.

It's efficient, easy to learn, and has an extensive knowledge base that seems to cover EVERYthing. It's customizable, can integrate with a lot of programs and services, and can even send out thank-you messages to donors.

Pros

It works smoothly, it's well-designed, and it covers aspects of donor management that I didn't know existed.

Cons

I can't think of anything that it lacks or that needs any improvement. Like the saying goes: it just works.

I am not a real tech savvy guy, but I run a medium-sized or smaller non-profit and needed donor software that wasn't too sophisticated but checked all of the boxes I need. I found it with LGL!

Pros

LGL is awesome! It's very simple to navigate and cost efficient.

Cons

I don't have any negative things to say about LGL. It's perfect for our nonprofit donor management.

Little Green Light is great, we have rarely had any issues. We use it as our donor database, to generate tax acknowledgement letters, appeal letters for fundraising, and as a source of alumni information for our school.

Pros

Little Green Light is low-cost and perfectly right-sized for an organization of our size. It is relatively flexible and intuitive, and with the help of 3rd party tools can be easily connected to other software.

Cons

There are some limitations, and if you aren't able to build integrations that work well then it can pose a challenge to enter gifts.

Alternatives considered

[Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT](https://www.capterra.com/p/247647/Blackbaud-Raiser-s-Edge-NXT/)

Reasons for choosing Little Green Light

Raiser's Edge seemed overkill, it is much more expensive and much less user friendly. The reporting tools look flashy in the way they present them, but require so much configuration to do the things that you want. There is not a lot of customizability with Raiser's Edge compared to Little Green Light.

I have been using LGL for many years. It is a robust and functional CRM that is affordable, particularly for small non-profits. I find it to be much better than other platforms and at a fraction of the cost. I would recommend LGL to anyone searching for a user-friendly, cost-effective CRM that has all the features to optimize your advancement operations.

Pros

I have used LGL for over a decade and have brought the CRM to many nonprofits. The platform is robust and intuitive. It has fantastic functionality and integrates with other services. I can track donor relationships, generate giving metrics, track appeals, and generate communications with ease and accuracy.

Cons

There is nothing that I dislike, but I would make improvements to the email function. Currently, you cannot schedule emails to be delivered at a specific time, and customizing emails with branding and graphics is challenging.

It's been great! Not only am I a consultant that highly recommends this product frequently, but I am also the President/CEO of another non-profit where we use Little Green Light. You just cannot beat the affordability for the full suite of usability provided. Truly haven't found anything better for the smaller to mid-size non-profit.

Pros

Using and maintaining this database is very intuitive. I've run other systems in the past that required almost a computer science degree to be successful. LGL is so adaptable, very customizable, and their customer support is the best in the business.

Cons

Gosh, it's hard to think of anything I don't like about Little Green Light. As time goes by they continue to make improvements and always seem to address my current wishes. Not quite sure how they do that but, yay. IF there was anything I could wish for I would ask that the addressee and salutation fields were a little more robust. Adding class years, and in our case degrees, manually opens the door to errors. Would love to have a customizable table that can be pulled into exports. Having a method of batch entry for gifts (other than import) would be a game changer for busier offices. Coded batches help prevent data inconsistencies.
