    One cause is better for an event to sell tickets and run an online auction.

    I had a really hard time with Salesforce. It has so much capacity and potential but is not user-friendly at all. Their support team was incredibly difficult as well.

    Salesforce is so vast and complicated that I was unable to make sense of how to use the product, despite being reasonably computer-literate. In comparison, LGL was simple to use from day one. It was clearly built for nonprofits, unlike Salesforce which appears to have taken …

    LGL is much cheaper than these alternatives. While their design is more professional and their customer support more available (LGL does not do phone support), LGL had all of the functions we need.

    LGL is significantly less expensive with higher functionality, easier for more users to access, and has more information easily viewable without pulling a formal report.

    It's been a long time since I used eTap, but I much prefer LGL. It's just set up in a way that makes storing and pulling up info much easier, and pulling reports. Unless eTap has changed in the past 6 or so years.

    I have not used any other donor management softwares. In many respects, it is similar to a combination of a project management and a customer relations management software.

    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

    Pros
    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.

    Cons
    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.

    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

    Support Rating
    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.

    Return on Investment
    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.
