User Testimonials
	Flipcause	Little Green Light
Likelihood to Recommend	If you are doing this for fun, and don't actually need the money that you raise through Flipcause, they're great, but if you need the funds to, say, run payroll or pay rent, do not even THINK of using them. You will spend a lot of time tearing your hair out, and sending yet another email begging them to transfer funds JW Julia Wyson Artistic Director Read full review	I LOVE Little Green Light! I was part of my old org's transition to this database, then I consulted a nonprofit and supported their transition to Little Green Light. Then, I started with my current org 2 years ago and moved us over. It's by far the best donor database I've used. Incentivized Emily Westlake, MNPL Development and Community Partnership Manager Read full review
Pros	Flipcause has a great user interface for donors. Flipcause sends customizable donation receipts. Flipcause easily integrates with our website. Flipcause has great customer service. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Donor touch tracking (calls, meetings, etc.) Relationships and stewardship Forms for event and other registrations Financial reporting and gift tracking Great support team! I was initially worried because they don't have a contact number, but they reply to support questions really quickly and are always helpful. Incentivized Emily Westlake, MNPL Development and Community Partnership Manager Read full review
Cons	You have to contact them multiple times to get them to give you your money. It generally takes at least a month to get funds from them to you. They take a really long time to respond to support emails, if they respond at all. JW Julia Wyson Artistic Director Read full review	I wish it had email formatting rather than integrating with MailChimp, but a small price to pay since it does in fact handle email communications. I've actually found that donors appreciate the "personal" touch versus the more polished, formatted email of MailChimp because they feel like the email went just to them. Wish it had the ability to email year-end statements as easy as it is to print them. Incentivized SR Sheri Rettew CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	We have had no issues with LIttle Green Light so I do not see us moving to another software platform at this time. We are all familiar with how to use it and we are a small and mighty team so we don't want to rock the boat too much. LOL Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Website design is great and easy to use JL Jordan Lee Head of Product Read full review	Pretty easy to manage Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Flipcause has amazingly responsive customer support staff and "Success Teams." When you sign up, your Success Manager makes sure you have all the information and support needed to get up and running quickly and easily. Your Success Team will happily provide support on an on-going basis as needed, although we have not needed much support due to the easy-to-use interface Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	LGL support is absolutely unreal. Send a question straight from inside the software and within minutes you will receive a response from someone at the company who will help you. Most of the time, the person responding to my questions is one of the developers or owners of the company. They are kind, patient, and very helpful. The online knowledge base is very comprehensive as well. Incentivized BH Bonnie Hammond Executive Director Read full review
Alternatives Considered	We previously used Network for Good to process online donations and to sell event tickets, but Flipcause has proven much better at meeting our needs. I prefer the Flipcause interface and functionality, especially for event registrations. We have also used PayPal and PayPal Here to collect donations online and in person. While these are trusted and recognizable for our donors, they are only useful for collecting donations and do not have easily customizable donation receipts.

Return on Investment	Diminished trust from employees because of payroll delays. Unable to plan ahead because we have no idea when we will get our funds. Excessive time spent chasing funds, rather than fulfilling our mission. Excessive time spent researching new platforms, and changing all our infrastructure because we've finally decided we can't stay with them any longer. JW Julia Wyson Artistic Director Read full review	In two years of using it, we went from $200,000 annually in donor revenue to $500,000. Many factors went into that, but the ease of communications through LGL is definitely one of them. We went from managing communications with ~200 donors to ~400.
