What do you like best?
Little Green Light is a cloud-based fundraising database solution that provides a great deal of flexibility and muscle for the price. It's got just about everything most small non-profits need to track their donors, campaigns, and even grants. The online tutorials are easy to find and easy to use. Best of all, if you get stuck you can always send a question via email and get a very prompt response - usually within hours. I highly recommend it for my clients and have set it up for four organizations so far. Everyone loves it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
About the only thing I don't like is probably because I have yet to spend the time to master it. That's the events module. I should spend more time on that one!
Also, LGL doesn't have the kind of ticket selling capabilities that some organizations need. You can "sell" raffle tickets, for instance, but I have yet to see it set up for much point of sale work. I believe that could be accomplished as well, as long as you're not a performing arts organization seeking to link to a much larger ticketing agency! Then again, those places aren't selling many tickets these days! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best?
Little Green Light is fairly easy to use. The home screen is laid out nicely and makes navigating easy. It is easy to keep up with financial records as well as keep a list of contacts. I also really like the Forms feature which allows you to create forms that guests can submit for tickets or raffles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
It doesn't seem to be compatible with Microsoft Word which I find odd and annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best?
It's great for smaller non-profits if you are you looking to track certain data. For example- with donors you can track their history and pull their info up very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
It is still improving and growing, so currently it doesn't offer support for mobile growing. But they are always working so I wouldn't be surprised if this feature is added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This database is the easiest on our budget, and Little Green Light offers ample support to get started with the website! It's also really amazing to have volunteering data in the same database- we will definitely get more use out of that feature this year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
It is a bit overwhelming to get started-- you definitely need to explore the database and watch/read some tutorials to get an idea of what you're getting yourself into! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best?
I appreciate how well LGL provides all critical functions of a CRM at an incredibly affordable price - this provides an especially important resource for smaller nonprofits who don't have big budgets for enterprise-level systems. LGL support is also unparalleled - questions are always answered within 24 hours, and often much faster. Their assistance is always personal and clear. These are also really important functions for smaller nonprofits who have limited staff members and time and need personal, quick help to continue moving forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
I really don't have many things I dislike about this product. Perhaps that it does not do the household function as many other more complex CRMs do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's difficult to manage families and search for parents based on their children's criteria; it is also difficult to do advanced analytics on data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Little Green Light has all the features for a nonprofit to use. The fields were made to be used for a nonprofit organization. It also allows some customization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
During initial setup with the upload and import of an existing file may not fit the fields of the Little Green Light fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like about Little Green Light is how it seems like it was designed just for my org. As a small but growing nonprofit, we use Little Green Light to track donors and accept donations but plan to use it for some of its other features as we expand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
There are so many features that I found myself using google searches for quick and easy instructions on how to accomplish a task rather than trial and error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best?
I like the organizational structure. When you have a large number of donors from a wide variety of avenues, it can be hard to keep them organized and still searchable. I also like the integration with MailChimp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
It's not immediately intuitive. Learning curve could be minimized with better tutorials. Would like to see a little more ability to track and report data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how many features Little Green Light offers to keep track of donors and donations. Especially for more complicated donations (donations made through Employee matching programs, donations made through Donor-Advised Funds), LGL makes it super easy to tie multiple constituents to one gift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
I wish that certain tags–especially those that appear under the constituent category–were more customizable. Wish that you could edit out things like the school district section to make constituent categories more useful for your org's specific needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?
Sometimes it saturates and starts running slow. I have to log out and then back in. Doesn’t happen that often though Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LGL simplifies the process of donor management. Its search function is far more user-friendly than the query features on other CRM systems I have used, and the automatic categorization of top donors, active donors, etc. makes it even easier to get a quick picture of how the fundraising year is going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
We recently switched to LGL from a more "robust" CRM system, and while LGL is even more user-friendly and has just as many functions, its layout is not as visually appealing. That's the only downside I can see thus far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to integrate everything you need (from donation related fundraising, to volunteer info, to appeals sent via Mail Chimp). Overall, fairly intuitive to use when getting started, and you can learn more advanced features as you go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
I'd love for there to be more interactive help tools and videos for the more advanced features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best?
The system is easy to use once you get the hang of it. Great to run reports out of. I like the feature of being able to use and view the amount of gifts by the fund- comparing and contrasting that is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
It doe not fact and constituent check that easily. Often leading you to do additional work. Additionally you have to set up different searches or queries on your own. They don't come ready to go- and so it is a bit more of putting items together on your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LGL is super easy to use, even for people who aren't very comfortable with new technologies. The interface is easy, reporting functions are powerful, and all the little features like contact reports really help us keep track of donor information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
If you didn't set it up at your office, then interpreting how somebody before you decided to do things can be tough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm just getting started with LGL, but I love that it covers a ton of basisc for nonprofit CRM and is extremely affordable! I like that it will let me track giving by several different things - campaign, funds, etc. And I love the added feature of tracking volunteer data in the same place. I'm really looking forward to diving in and seeing more of what it has to offer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
