Über Little Green Light
Little Green Light ist eine flexible, cloudbasierte Spendenmanagement- und Fundraisingplattform für wachsende gemeinnützige Organisationen.
Straight-forward migration/transfer of data from former application. Easy integration with website, donation processor.
This is in part due to a multi-audience setup and limit on the number of available contacts in Mail Chimp - which is a problem with Mail Chimp and not entirely due to LGL.

Great Solution for Small Non Profits
Kommentare: It's made keep track of and mailing donation receipts a million times easier and has proven to be a good alternative.
Vorteile:
Very Nice Interface and a simple system for entering and searching donor records. Designed with non profits in mind.
Nachteile:
Multi-item donations are annoying to input due to a single line field for donated goods.
A thoughtful review of LGL :)
Vorteile:
Little Green Light is very user friendly. There are alot of training materials that are useful for learning how to use it as well as a very responsive and knowledgeable Help Team.
Nachteile:
Not being able to do a bulk import of gifts that is sent to the QKB que automatically. When we do a major donation push, I have to spend alot of time doing manual entries so that our bookkeeper sees them in the que. That feature would be super helpful.
Clunky, skinny, but cheap
Kommentare: Customer service is friendly but I don't like that I can't reach them immediately.
Vorteile:
This is great if you are a smaller organization--maybe no more than 2,000-3,000 donors. It features basic gift entry, pledges, contact info, etc. If you are a nonprofit just getting started, this could work for you.
Nachteile:
Not intuitive. Hard to learn. Tutorials are complicated. I've been working with it for 4 years now and still not sure how to run reports. Not robust nor intuitive. Our organization has moved past the effectiveness threshold of this product, and we are looking at others.
Little Green Light Keeps my Fundraising on Track!
Kommentare: I love Little Green Light! It keeps me organized and helps build relationship with my donors!
Vorteile:
Little Green Light is easy to use and assists me in keeping track of my fundraising, donations, and constituents. I like that I can create mailing lists, emails, and generate thank you letters after my organization receives a donation.
Nachteile:
Little Green Light is a little dated and is not as aesthetically pleasing as other CRMS.
Little Green Light Helps Little Non-Profits
Kommentare: Easy to use, stable with no issues of down servers.
Vorteile:
Easy to set up, easy to use, and allows multiple levels of user access.
Nachteile:
It doesn't provide a simple accounting side as part of the product. You must purchase and integrate a separate accounting system.
The best program for donor tracking we've found
Kommentare: I love the simplicity of it. The ease of use makes it easy to train on and it keeps all of our donors organized very well!
Vorteile:
the usability. Its very easy to use and edit and very organized. The pages aren't over-full of information making finding the donor I'm looking for a very simple process.
Nachteile:
It doesn't have a lot of functions that other even programs have so we don't use it for events, auctions etc.
Great CRM at a great price
Kommentare: Little Green Light provides our small organization with a user friendly, thoughtful, and responsive constituent relationship management solution, and at one of the most reasonable prices in its field. We use it primarily to manage donations and relationships. Bottom line is the product is excellent and I recommend it to others.
Vorteile:
LGL is easy to use from data entry to automated acknowledgements to the filters and reports and big picture review. The learning curve is very quick, which was important as I am the only one managing it, among the many other roles I have. One other person occasionally accesses the data, and it's been easy for them as well. One of the best features is the support that they provide. They respond very promptly and thoughtfully via email to any questions and issues. While I was initially concerned that I couldn't call with questions, this has never been an issue, and in fact the emails make it easy for me to send a link or screen shot of any issue I may be having when I can't figure out the solution from the plentiful online resources they provide. I've received many replies from them well after regular business hours. They also continually update their product in response to user needs and suggestions. There is plenty of room to customize fields and add custom tags, etc. There's also a great facebook group of users who support each other with suggestions about best practices within LGL and beyond.
Nachteile:
The integrated donation forms could use a more modern look, but it still works well. While it might be nice if the whole admin interface was more modern, the interface is clean and the usability and features are the most important to me. Complex mapping for an import can occasionally be a challenge (likely with any product), but LGL has always responded quickly with solutions.
Little Green Light is Full-Featured and Easy to Use
Kommentare: It tracks our members and donors so it's easy to reach out to people. It also gives volunteers an easy way to enter their time.
Vorteile:
It gives us everything our earlier program had and goes light-years beyond it. Our members like it because we are timely in sending out notices, reminders and acknowledgements. Also like the help features.
Nachteile:
Sometimes it gets confusing trying to create lists and reports. But support is always helpful.
Little Green Light enables me to do my job well!
Kommentare: I'm fairly new to the development field, and LGL is helping me learn how to do my job well! It enables me to be organized, thorough, and detailed. Thank you LGL for making me successful in my job!
Vorteile:
My favorite thing about LGL is the donor management system. I can keep track of so many details about our donors. It's obvious this software has been developed and improved based on REAL feedback from development professionals. I LOVE the 'tasks' feature! I also appreciate how dependable the customer support is.
Nachteile:
Cosmetically, LGL isn't the most appealing thing to look at. Hopefully at some point they will get a makeover, but honestly - that doesn't matter compared to the functions the software performs.
Great Donor Management Tool for Non-profits
Kommentare: It was been a great system. We are using it to track donations as well as membership in our organization. It is also a wonderful sign up tool for specific events. The forms created in LGL look so professional and are so easy manage. The online knowledge base is vast and can usually answer any question or guide throug a process. Have only had to contact live support a couple of times and they have been responsive.
Vorteile:
We needed a donor management system that delivered more than just a spreadsheet. After much research, we decided LGL met all our requirements--and more and at a reasonable price.
Nachteile:
Nothing that comes to mind. We are very happy with LGL.

A great CRM platform for nonprofits
Kommentare: We used to have our constituents' contact info, contact report info, and giving data scattered across a motley collection of manually- and inconsistently-updated platforms, and none of it was integrated with Constant Contact or our email. It was extremely difficult to search for constituents or financial gifts or tag them in any useful way. All truly meaningful information was stored in our team members' heads, where it could be lost track of, and this was having a negative impact on our fundraising. LGL has enabled us to pull our many disparate forms of data into a single platform, unify them within each constituent's record, start sending out automated acknowledgements for donations, stay in close communication with each other about each constituent, and overall just improve our ability to provide a high-quality experience for our constituents when we reach out to them.
Vorteile:
Its customizability; its absolutely top-notch and responsive customer support; its rich metadata and extensive set of features; its powerful import engine; its flexible report functionality; its integration with automated acknowledgement emails, Constant Contact, and webforms / online payment processing; its great support for task management and communication between team members; and the fact that we can download a comprehensive export of all its data at any time, which makes keeping backups easy.
Nachteile:
Navigating through all of its complexity can sometimes be confusing and intimidating at first, until you learn its workflows; search is fragmented—you can't just search and get all records that might match: you have to search in one place to find constituents and search in a second place to find financial data and search in a third place to find activity data; the inability to hide UI elements for features we're not making use of; not quite as much roles & permissions flexibility as we'd like.
Low Cost Effective Donor Management Solution
Kommentare: I'm able to clean up a database that had become a hideous mess in GiftWorks Cloud. I'm able to identify and easily clear duplicate donors and duplicate gifts. (I've removed about 300 duplicate constituents so far … roughly 8% of my total database … about 100 more to go)
Vorteile:
It's super easy to learn and use. Everything you need is built in -- the dashboard that keeps you focused on what you have (or haven't) recently raised against your goals, the basic reports (which can be customized). Donor record entry includes US mailing address verification -- yay! LGL is also clear about what it does and doesn't do. So it doesn't claim to link directly with a peer-to-peer product -- and it's also not messing up my database by uploading a duplicate entry for every single person who registers in the peer-to-peer product (which has a different default name protocol).
Nachteile:
So far, I don't have any complaints. I'm already using features I didn't expect to (emailing directly through the system, which allows the Contact to be automatically logged in the Constituent record). I suppose LGL could be prettier. But given the choice between pretty and functional, I'll take a product that works any day.
Little Green Light - Intuitive Database that is Easy to Use
Vorteile:
Overall I love this database and how easy it is to use.
Nachteile:
I do think that reports can be improved.
Excellent nonprofit CRM
Vorteile:
LGL was easy to use from day 1, though we were self-taught and definitely set up some less than ideal processes. We have started to use more of its features (communication tags, for example) and find them extremely helpful. If only we had discovered them sooner!
Nachteile:
That we didn’t have the opportunity to get trained on all of its features when we first started using it.
New setup of LGL
Kommentare: So far so good apart from finding missing data when we setup LGL integration.
Vorteile:
LGL has an easy to use interface across all areas.
Nachteile:
Downloading old CRM program data was incomplete and needed much recovery fiddling.
Looks great, but the user interface could use some improvement
Vorteile:
Excellent customer service, it's flexible, and the search feature is pretty great. It's way easier to manage compared to our last donor management software through Donor Impact.
Nachteile:
The email feature had a weird bug and the user interface isn't my favorite. Nothing huge though that couldn't be resolved.
LGL Use for Non-Profit
Kommentare: [sensitive content hidden] is amazing and always willing to support!
Vorteile:
It's been easy sending emails to our members!
Nachteile:
Noting which features to be highlighted was a bit challenging.
A value based platform
Kommentare: Very positive. LGL has made it possible for us to provide a level of professionalism to our donor community that would be expected from a larger non-profit. We feel we have no limits to growth with LGL.
Vorteile:
The program is very mature and has almost every feature that you would need as a non-profit. There is good documentation and support is excellent from LGL. I may get stuck but not for long! LGL Forms is an important upgrade and has streamlined many of our tasks.
Nachteile:
It has a learning curve. While any feature you may seek is there to be found, many of the features are not very intuitive. The UI is not sexy but the application works flawlessly. I will say that the customer support is outstanding and very responsive. Anyone familiar with working with database applications will be comfortable with LGL.
Veterans Organization appreciates LGL
Vorteile:
I'd say the most liked is the final building of the organization's health. Once all the data is in, everything flows to the appropriate budget area and the "light" comes on.
Nachteile:
I would like to see a standard report of the organization's health. Example: Everything on the right of the dashboard is the report. No need to build it in the "reports" area. Just a standard report of the dashboard information on the right.
GREAT donor database with top-shelf features for small budgets
Kommentare: I've been a fundraiser for 25+ years, primarily with very large organizations (raising $100 million+ annually), and had an opportunity to use a range of nonprofit databases, including home-grown systems and some of the best-known products from large companies. I've been through database conversions on large scales (50+ users, 25,000+ records), and advocated for and managed budgets as a member of the management team. I chose Little Green Light (LGL) after researching options for a small nonprofit where I'm the executive director. (5000 records, 3-5 database users, $350k annual budget)
Vorteile:
As a fundraiser, it's intuitive and has all the features I appreciate and need to support my moves management work. As the database administrator, chief data entry staffer, list- and report-creator and website integration specialist, it's intuitive with great customer service and on-line resources to allow me to meet our organization's needs. Given the opportunity, I would have selected LGL for my previous organizations. It's got all of the meaningful and useful features to support fundraising and data management needs without requiring us to pay for bells and whistles that sound great to upper management (and those who aren't on the front-lines for fundraising) but keep the majority of users from being able to take full advantage of the system.
Nachteile:
There are a lot of great integrations, but since we don't use the bulk emailing products supported by LGL, we've had to try to create our own. We LOVE the ability to create web forms that integrate with LGL and the ease of adding them to our website, although sometimes figuring out exactly how to map the data is beyond us without a fair amount of trial and error. On the other hand, these are tasks I never would have attempted with other systems and that we're able to do without paying thousands of dollars to consultants - which is vital with our very limited budget. We've got access to big-budget possibilities and investing the time and energy generally makes them possible for us. That said, without experience working with bigger systems in the past, I'm not sure I would understand the opportunities or be able to figure out how to tap into them.
Little Green Light
Kommentare: Little green light has allowed our company to expand our donor base & keep Better detailed information all in one location. It has been well worth the small investment to purchase this product. It more than exceeds its value.
Vorteile:
The entire program has made my job so much easier. It has cut my work time In half. It gave us the ability to keep better record & more detailed reporting. I especially like how it integrates with quickbooks online & produces recognition letters all from the same program. It is a one stop shopping type of program & very well thought out. The customer service has been excellent too!
Nachteile:
We had some minor challenges on the original integration, but nothing that the customer service representatives weren’t able to walk us through. Otherwise, I haven’t come across any other cons with this program.
Little Green Light has been great
Kommentare: I and the board appreciate the various reports that can be easily generated. Because of the pandemic, we haven't been using it as much as we expected, but I still appreciate LGL: it's ease of use, clear Knowledge Base articles with easy to understand examples, and the additional support of being able to email someone. The flexibility is also great, so we truly feel we can make it as we want it rather than having to fit what we want to what the software can do.
Vorteile:
I evaluated multiple products and highly recommended Little Green Light to my organization. It had the functionality we needed and, even though I was new to donor management software, I found it intuitive to use. Almost everything I've been able to figure out how to do on my own. A few times, I've had to use the Knowledge Base, which I've found to be very helpful. The very few times I couldn't find my answer there, I sent email and the response has always been phenomenal. I've received responses very quickly, even outside of their posted hours for responding. The help has been clear, concise, and friendly, including sometimes setting up a search for me on my account. Once, the response led me to wonder about a better way to accomplish my task but I had further questions. Again, the response was very quick and useful. I've attended multiple webinars and they, like the personalized help, were very informative, clear, and informative. I'm looking forward to what I'll learn in my upcoming webinars. The Flex Importer is very useful to us because we already receive much of our donation information as spreadsheets. We also appreciate having donations as well as volunteer information all in one place. I certainly haven't stressed LGL, but it is providing us the functionality we need with an easy-to-use interface and multiple systems of support so I'm never waiting days to learn how to do what I want.
Nachteile:
I initially had trouble with creating a mailing because I misunderstood that a screen was a sample screen and should not be changing even though I made changes. When I used the mailer to send a test message to board members, the feedback I received was that the email address made the message appear to be spam so they didn't read it. That was over a year ago, so the system may have changed. We're a small organization and haven't needed to send emails during the pandemic.
A wonderful reasonably priced fundraising software product
Kommentare: We track our donors in it, including all contacts and correspondence.
Vorteile:
We're a modest organization and some of the fundraising software is incredibly expensive, up to 5-10 times LGL's modest $400 yearly cost. LGL is extremely reasonable, but also very powerful. It lets us record all the key data about our donors and prospects. It lets multiple staffers enter and access the data, all for one reasonable price. I love how you can do a BCC to their dropbox address on a letter to a donor and it gets automatically added to the person's record. There's a slight learning curve to segmenting donor lists and spitting them out in reports, but it can really do pretty much anything you need. So we're very happy with it and will continue to use it.
Nachteile:
I would like to be able to delete some of the standard fields that are designed for schools, which is where the product got its start. And it would be nice to be able to call for help, but their staff is very quick and responsive when you email them. Maybe they could offer a premium option for some phone help. But honestly, it's just a really good product, especially if you look at their extensive online help section of how to explanations and videos.

A brilliant CRM for nonprofits
Kommentare: LGL is a fantastic CRM for nonprofit use. We use it daily and it hasn't let us down yet. There's a great selection of integrations, such as Mailchimp, and a Zapier plugin so that other software can be integrated with ease. LGL does exactly what it promises - it provides straightforward yet powerful storage of all data pertaining to our donors and fundraising.
Vorteile:
LGL is great value for money, especially when working within a nonprofit budget. The platform is fully featured and easily customisable. I especially like the recently released Zapier integration, as this allows us to automate the importing of donations from our fundraising software. The support team are also very responsive and helpful.
Nachteile:
While LGL Forms is a well thought-out and fully featured piece of the CRM, the ability to style the forms leaves a lot to be desired. Because of this, we have reverted to using another platform for donations, and importing them into LGL using automation.
Little Green Light has transformed my ability to steward my donors and track donations.
Kommentare: It's given me hours of my life back due to all the work it does automatically. It makes me look like a superstar in my job. It gives me the ability to look back on years of data and see trends and improvements. It gives me peace of mind knowing that my data is stored safely on the cloud. It gives me something to say when sales people for Salesforce come calling...and it has healed the psychic damage that was done to me by trying to make Salesforce work for us. It satisfies my love of data and databases and perfection.
Vorteile:
I love the way it integrates online donations into my donor records -- so easy and so professional. I especially appreciate their customer support -- if I have a question, I just send an email and I get a quick reply within hours. The software is very user friendly and adaptable to my way of doing business. Clearly it was created with a great understanding of nonprofits!
Nachteile:
While I love having the ability to track and create acknowledgements, there are some features in this area that don't fit my process. I write cards by hand, and sometimes I only get a couple done at a time. I wish I could mark them done individually rather than by batch. I also would like to have the choice of Volunteer Hours under Related Gifts--several companies, like Microsoft, donate to us for volunteer hours put in by their full time employees. And I wish that when a recurring donation fails that the donor would automatically get an emailed notification from LGL Forms.
