Overall Satisfaction with Little Green Light

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use LGL within the advancement department for donor management and gift tracking. It also houses our mailing list for the organization, including current parents and alumni. It is not our primary student software system, but we maintain some student information because it is very convenient to have access to it using LGL's functionality. We like the ease of segmenting, list-building, creating custom reports, recording constituent contacts, and the user-friendly presentation of information.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Transparent, "live" list creation - Easy to see who your criteria are selecting.
Flexibility of custom menu items - Easy to configure system to meet your needs.

Cons

Can't think of any shortcomings!

Return on Investment

Allows much greater flexibility in accessing important information.

Alternatives Considered

The Raisers Edge

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.

Support Rating

In the early years, I received extremely fast responses to any request for help or suggestion for improved functionality. Recently I haven't had a reason to seek support because the system performs as I need. Online help is very descriptive and acts as a good reference.

Likelihood to Recommend

As a small non-profit, we find LGL is very well-suited to our needs for managing our donor relationships and fundraising efforts. As a school, our constituents include current parents and students; while we include them in LGL for convenience, we don't expect LGL to function as a student information system or parent portal, and therefore have other systems for this information.
