User Testimonials
	Kintera Sphere (Discontinued)	Little Green Light
Likelihood to Recommend	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Little Green Light When I came on board, we had a mess. We had so many gift types, categories, and campaigns that it was an epic disaster, and there was no way any reports could easily be pulled. With time, patience, and the bulk edit feature, I could clean up the mess and start again with set campaigns, funds, and appeals...We now have a clean slate for all data entered in 2023 and the future. Thank you for bulk edits Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Little Green Light 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	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Little Green Light 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	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Little Green Light 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	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Little Green Light Pretty easy to manage Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Little Green Light 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	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Little Green Light Little Green Light blows these other two CRM's out of the water. {Little Green Light has] ease of use, user-friendly prompts, and more pertinent information is captured. Little Green Light is perfect for my small-sized Non-Profit organization. Incentivized SH Shannon Hill Development Associate Read full review
Return on Investment	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Little Green Light 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.
