Little Green Light vs Fundraise Up: Which is a better fit?

Ellie B: My name is Ellie. I am the Director of Development and Operations. I give Little Green Light, a three from a scale of one to five. For more ratings like this, please click below. Before Little Green Light, we had an Excel spreadsheet, which is a really unprofessional way to keep donor data. So there was no way to track movement or to add comments in a sensible way. We chose Little Green Light because it is one of the most affordable CRMs on the market. And a lot of nonprofits had recommended the program to us to use. Transferring data from a spreadsheet to a CRM is always a little challenging, but once we got the data into Little Green Light, it wasn't terribly difficult to learn. And I found the customer support really helpful. If you are considering Little Green Light, my recommendation's to you are to use the integrations to the fullest, so that may include Constant Contact or Stripe. Having those third-party applications connected to your database will make your life a lot easier.

Savannah: Hey there. My name is Savannah. I'm a visual content strategist for OneHope. We're an international nonprofit and we love Fundraise up. We definitely give it five stars. So, I'm not the developer in this case. I work more on the front-end design. However, I know that we did not have really strong mobile-friendly fundraising integrations at all in our website before. So this is a new integration and it really opened up a lot of doors for us. Given our size, we should have had a much larger donation presence online, and we didn't. We were still receiving a lot of mail-in donations, physical donations, and so we wanted to increase our digital donation presence. But that needed to be mobile-friendly. It needed to be accessible for a lot of different payment methods like Venmo, Apple Pay, things like that. And so Fundraise Up ticked all the boxes. It was easily integrated into our website. It looks great on mobile, and it was just so easy to use, so we were thrilled. I thought it was extremely easy. Their website really lays out all of the different templates and options that you have, and if we ever had an issue, we could reach out to them directly. Definitely, I don't work on the embed itself, but as far as layout and working with it as a designer, it was extremely easy. And actually it saved me a lot of time because it automatically optimizes for mobile, so very easy to use. I really just can't recommend it enough. We saw a tremendous increase even within the first year in our donation rate, just because we made it easier for people to donate. It even has this function where it will follow the user if they started the donation process or if they were interested and then they dropped off. It will have a tag, follow them on the website, just not in an aggressive way, but in an encouraging way to say, "Hey, do you want to finish this donation process? Do you want to follow through?" And we've just seen great turnover through that. We've seen great results, and so I can't recommend the platform enough. It's intuitive. It makes the process easy, and we've seen the results.
