Little Green Light

Great Solution for Small Non Profits

Commentaires : It's made keep track of and mailing donation receipts a million times easier and has proven to be a good alternative.

Avantages :

Very Nice Interface and a simple system for entering and searching donor records. Designed with non profits in mind.

Inconvénients :

Multi-item donations are annoying to input due to a single line field for donated goods.

Quality product for little investment

Avantages :

So easy to use and very user friendly. Critical if you are a volunteer and grant management is not your specialty

Inconvénients :

I use SFDC at work. It would be nice to customize the task when you pull up the account

Looking for a Reasonably Priced Comprehensive Donor Management Software?

Commentaires : I have been in development for 30 years and used many donor management products from Raisers Edge to Harness. Our agency has been using LGL for 8 years. During that time, we actually tried other platforms. But kept it and came back to LGL for its ease of use and comprehensive tools that meet all of our needs. LGL was created from a donor management view. Many of the new platforms have been created from a social media view so they miss a lot of the critical elements that are needed to manage donors and help an agency be successful.

Avantages :

LGL is user friendly. Almost anyone with some database experience can work with this software in a very short time. It is forgiving. It is comprehensive. It does not have ALL the bells and whistles. But rarely does an organization actually use all of those. But it has what you really need to do a great job.

Inconvénients :

I would like to be able to have multiple contacts for a business or organization without adding another constituent for the same business.

Quickly Outgrew LGL

Commentaires : Our organization moved from Excel to Little Green Light and we used LGL for several years. However, we quickly outgrew it. It was ok in the beginning when we weren't generating a lot of income and didn't need to run many reports. However, the more we grew, the more LGL did not work for us and we ended up switching to something else.

Avantages :

Inexpensive, good for small organizations who are just starting out

Inconvénients :

Reporting was not intuitive or easy to use. Lacks fundraising and email marketing capabilities that come with other competitors.

LGL - a great first step!!!

Commentaires : Overall for the price this is a great software to get you going. It is functional and integrates wonderfully with Quickbooks.

Avantages :

LGL is a functional donor management system that integrates with QBO quite easily!!! We are a small non-profit that has very, very limited funds for management functions/software and this is a great product for the price and has helped us get over the mess of spreadsheets. It integrates also with some email services and PayPal quite easily.

Inconvénients :

I would love to see an integration with Facebook donations like they have with Paypal. Exporting and importing does work, but takes time and requires a bit of training. With volunteer office help, this could be difficult to teach consistently. Also, I would like to see additional features added to the forms integration. While this does work, it has not integrated with our website or the forms have not worked that well in phone apps so we are not using to the fullest and still need other options.
