Principal Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Recommend LGL to all my clients looking for database services" February 28, 2020 5.0 Pros Ease of use and set-up; easy to pull reports and figure out mailings. Cons Would prefer a more robust and intermediate webinars for training. Review Source CB Charlotte B. Director of Development Used the software for: ### "Amazing difference in every aspect of my work" November 30, 2011 5.0 I whole heartedly recommend this software and this company. My working life has changed for the better in so many ways since using LGL. I have changed the way I do everything in the database and have real pleased in showing my colleagues how easy things are now. Our efforts have definitely stepped up. I am thankful many times a day for LGL. Pros LGL is intuitive and just makes sense The features make it extremely easy to use and many things that used to take multiple steps in our old system now only take one. The customer support is second to none. Calls and e-mails are answered or returned often times within minutes. No question is too minor to be answered and then answered again. They often send back screen captures of which button should be clicked making it very easy to do. The accounting of various appeals, segments, goals and individuals records make it very easy to know information at one glance. Cons This system cannot be used to management of a school - sending transcripts, making student IDs etc but this is NOT what the system is designed to do. (I just wish it was) Review Source JG Jose' G. Administrative Assistant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Little Green Light Review" January 3, 2021 5.0 Before Little Green Light, we manually collected Constituent information on a spreadsheet. The biggest benefit is Constituent is consolidated and gives us the contact options via email & paper. I would recommend Little Green Light to our friends, family as well a business associates. Pros Client friendly Dashboard is what attracted us to Little Green Light. Cons Importing Constituent Information into Little Green Light takes getting used to. Reason for choosing Little Green Light Primarily Cost & Client friendly Dashboard Switched from [WildApricot](https://www.capterra.com/p/76116/WildApricot/) Primarily Cost Review Source GW Gina W. Partnerships Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The database has functioned well for our company needs" January 28, 2019 5.0 Overall, a great database for small to midsize nonprofits who are new to CRM databases. Pros The product allows you to do mailings, emails and manage all constituents in one space for your convenience Cons Customer service is only available via email and can be frustrating when needing live correspondence Review Source JM Jan M. director of individual support Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy for small nonprofits!" February 18, 2020 5.0 keeping all donor information in one central spot. Pros Easy to use and manage through importing data from excel sheets. User-friendly and intuitive for staff and volunteers to use. Cons It doesn't integrate with Quickbooks and a few other items that we use like MightyCause. Editing a last name has to be edited in each field instead of updating all at once. Alternatives considered [DonorPerfect](https://www.capterra.com/p/2698/DonorPerfect-Fundraising-Software/) Reason for choosing Little Green Light Good for small amount of data and several users for a low price. Review Source NH Nausheena H. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "LGL for the Win" November 16, 2019 4.0 Great starter donor management platform for new nonprofits. The customer service is the best and number 1 reason I would recommend LGL to others. Such quick turnaround time. Pros Easy to figure out. Affordable. Ability to build reports. Cons Integration with other platforms is hard. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Project Coordinator Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great bare bones donor management software. " July 2, 2018 4.0 I learned more of what we needed by using this software. I thought we could use a simple system like this one, but I believe it is too basic for our needs. Pros I love that this software includes almost everything you need for running a nonprofit donor database. The price is about 1/3-1/4 of what other companies offer. The tutorials are easy to follow and it is simple to set up. Cons I don't like that it will not integrate automatically with other cloud-based systems that we are using. The process of moving over donors from one database to this one seemed easy in the beginning, but ended up being very tedious. Review Source AS April S. Assistant to MAESSR CEO Used the software for: 6-12 months ### " Was able to set this program up for a canine rescue organization in less than a week." January 20, 2018 5.0 Pros The data base is quite extensive so we are able to keep all our departments and information in one place. Just running off reports for what we need. As we are volunteers and all work from home this has been great in making sure all the information is the same. Thank you LGL. Cons Would like more flexibility for In Honor of and In Memory of reports. One of our main issues is sending out donation letter and cards. Review Source JK Jennifer K. Office Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Overall great" August 2, 2019 5.0 Pros the online help is very informative. easy to use and it has video tutorials when there is something that I need to know. Cons need to be able to adjust the duplicates. or at least tell me that there is a duplicate there Review Source SB Sarah B. Board Member Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "If you're a nonprofit, you need this database software!" October 13, 2016 5.0 As an experienced database manager, primarily using the most expensive software out there on the market (and those just below the price level), nonprofits need to consider Little Green Light as their software go-to. It's easy to use - from a novice to an expert - it makes all the sense in the world nonprofits needs to build, maintain and grow their database, it's cost effective and the support is instant. LGL is the database nonprofits have needed all along... but instead struggle to make a more expensive system work while pinching pennies to do good in the world. Their trial period is all you need to fall in love and make the switch! I would recommend LGL to anyone out there looking to build their nonprofit database - or switch from their current one to a new, more robust system that costs less but is as effective as anything out there. Pros It's easy. I'm used to a lot of additional gimmicks and fields that only make understanding more complicated in the end. LGL does everything a big database does but is so much simpler to understand. Cons From a small-medium size nonprofit, I don't have any complaints! For big nonprofits that may integrate with other database systems, this system may not be that product... outside of that, this system helps nonprofits do their jobs easily! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Front Desk Receptionist Insurance Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I reached out to get help with running a report and LGL tech support was right there." December 21, 2017 5.0 reporting for donors and volunteers, mailing templates and acknowledgement letters Pros I like that it has many capabilities in managing contacts and running reports. It is easy to navigate and the help feature is amazing Cons I am challenged with setting up templates -- this feature is not easily understood by me, although there are videos and knowledge-based help screens available to answer questions and navigate the system to find specific answers. The webinar feature is a great place to find answers to basic questions. Review Source Bethany Z. Director of Development Used the software for: ### "Great product at an affordable price!" July 23, 2013 4.0 We recently started using LGL as our donor management system and so far we are very impressed. It is fairly easy to use and if we ever do need help the customer service can't be beat! They respond very quickly to any questions, even the silly ones, and have always helped with any issues. The only negative I have discovered so far is; some times menu items don't seem to be as intuitive as I would like them to be and I spend a bit of time trying to find things. But, I am sure that will get easier the more we use the database. For a very small non-profit private school the cost is better than anything we found elsewhere - and that certainly helps the bottom line.

It absolutely meets our needs. Pros easy to use, intuitive, comprehensive, great support, inexpensive Cons Paypal integration not as good as Stripe Switched from [Bloomerang](https://www.capterra.com/p/131207/Bloomerang/) Bloomerang is expensive, lacks features, and is clunky to use. Review Source Nancy M. Office manager Used the software for: ### "Life Made Easier with LGL" December 1, 2011 5.0 I would highly recommend Little Green Light for both small and medium size organizations. The start up and installation is easy so you can be up and running in no time. Pros \- Easily installed - LGL people extremely helpful & they listen to their users - Both data entry and getting acknowledgement letters out is now a breeze - Easy access for all people in the organization - High quality development software that is affordable for small organizations Cons \- The reporting is awkward but they're working on it Review Source TB Todd B. Boston Chill Foundation Coordinator Philanthropy Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use yet does everything and more we need!" January 25, 2018 5.0 If you have a non profit and need a program to organize data, I wouldn't look else ware. Little Green Light does it all, and makes it easy. I didn't pick it, I am just one employee, but I am happy that my non profit company uses it. Pros Navigating the program feels very organic. My company has large amounts of information and date stored on LGL, yet I can find what I need with one or two clicks. Even when I haven't been taught how to access certain information, I have no problem doing so as the navigation is easy- Its how you'd expect/hope it to be. Editing information on donors, agencies etc. is very easy as well. I won't accidently delete or change information, yet can easily and simply update what I need to. Review Source SK Shana K. Director of Advancement Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great value" October 26, 2020 5.0 Pros As a new customer, we are very happy with the features, the capability, and the ease of use. Cons We haven't found anything yet that isn't great! Switched from [Blackbaud eTapestry](https://www.capterra.com/p/29170/eTapestry/) E-tapestry was an awful system that took a long time to do simple tasks, reporting was terrible and complicated. Review Source AF Allison F. Executive Assistant Libraries Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I really like it. It's intuitive and expertly functioning. " February 9, 2018 5.0 Pros I like how complex it is and how many option you have. I feel like I have an excellent oversight of our budget, donors, and donations. Cons Sometimes it's too convoluted. I didn't know there was a difference between the LGL and the LGL forms. A basic owner's manual pamphlet would really go a long way. Review Source PT Patti T. Director of Development Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "If I could give 6 as a review I would" October 20, 2016 5.0 After many donor management systems and many dollars, LGL is by far the best I have ever used. I would highly recommend giving it a try. Pros Ease of use customer support Review Source KC Kate C. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent Product" November 21, 2019 5.0 Love it! Pros Miles above Salesforce for nonprofit fundraising tracking. Really impressed! Cons Reports need some work, a bit difficult to create and organize. Reason for choosing Little Green Light Reasons listed above! Switched from [Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/) Cost and simplicity of the interface, plus all the app integrations! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Program Manager Environmental Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "We're still transferring our data into LGL, but have been very happy with our LGL experience so far." December 12, 2017 5.0 Pros We have found it a really intuitive platform with a lot of opportunities for customization. Their customer support is excellent and very responsive. New features and updates are being added on a regular basis. LGL Forms is also very functional and easy to use. Cons We wish Sendgrid could be used as a Third-Party integration for Email Marketing- only MailChimp and Constant Contact is supported right now. Review Source JL Joann L. volunteer fundraiser Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to learn" February 6, 2018 4.0 Overall, I recommend this product, especially for a small non-profit. Pros I am a new user of LGL. I'm finding it pretty easy to learn, especially with the helpful videos. Right now I am concentrating on building a good database for our non-profit, which LGL is perfect for. It can obviously do a lot more than I am using now, but the gift tracking and email features are already paying off. Cons I would like to figure out a way to track a little more data that isn't in there. For instance, info about volunteers, such as their interests and experience. Also, things specific to our dog rescue's needs. It's not obvious to me yet if that's possible. Review Source KF Katrina F. Used the software for: ### "Flexible, cost-effective solution with great customer service" July 22, 2015 5.0 I've been a Little Green Light customer for 2 years and it has helped our nonprofit more effectively and efficiently manage data and cultivate relationships with our supporters. One of our key criteria was that our Executive Director--who is way too busy and not super tech savvy--be able to use it with minimal training or time. That has turned out to be true, and makes the rest of our jobs easier too. We especially like the quick, helpful customer service. LGL has even added reasonable features on request, which really makes them stand out compared to other donor databases that won't do it or charge high fees. Cons: there are just a handful. We knew going in that LGL doesn't support split gifts but planned to, and are a little disappointed that feature hasn't been added yet. Managing households can be a little tricky when it comes to email subscriptions and volunteer hours. And in some places (e.g. shared searches) the interface can be a little clunky. Overall, we're extremely happy with LGL's ease of use and excellent customer service! Review Source SK Sharon K. Administrative Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I have used from the most expensive to the least expensive . . . LGL is by far by favorite" September 14, 2017 5.0 Pros Ease of use, a detail you get from reports, quick response from Support, ability to allow "viewing access only", ability to email within the program. Cons The inability to scroll through (or go to the next) constituent when I am viewing or making changes/corrections. Review Source AM Ava M. QuickBooks ProAdvisor Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use Little Green Light to keep up with my non-profit clients' donations and other income ." September 20, 2017 5.0 Integration with Paypal and Constant Contact and the ability to pull reports quickly. Pros LGL integrates with Paypal and Constant Contact. It also allows me to pull various reports very quickly. Cons LGL doesn't have a bulk edit option to change the gift type. LGL doesn't integrate with Quickbooks (that I know of).
