Little Green Light (LGL) is cloud-based donor management software designed for nonprofit organizations. It keeps donors, volunteers and members in one online database and records the gifts, communications and fundraising activity tied to each person. The company positions it as an all-in-one platform that balances power and flexibility.
The company was started in 2007 by Chris Bicknell, a former fundraising professional frustrated by the cost and effort of existing donor databases, and his brother Nick, who has IT and data management experience. The company reports more than 11,000 nonprofit customers.
LGL describes itself as ideal for smaller-to-midsize nonprofits, while also suitable for larger organizations. Customers named on its site include arts centers, schools, land trusts, animal care groups, libraries and human service organizations.
LGL runs in a web browser, so staff can reach the same data from any location. Each constituent has a single-page record that holds gifts, contact history, tags and documents. Teams can search and save results as lists, then use those lists for mailings, reports and email campaigns.
New customers bring data in through an import tool that follows three steps: prep the data, upload and map fields, then review and save. Full export is also available, so data can leave the system at any time. For complex databases, LGL points customers to an independent consultant network that gives custom bids.
The platform connects to outside services such as Mailchimp, Constant Contact, QuickBooks Online, Stripe and PayPal. Gifts made through LGL donation forms sync back to constituent records, which keeps online and offline giving in one place.
The core feature set covers constituent and contact management, gift tracking, acknowledgments and receipts, built-in and custom reports, saved lists, a dashboard with real-time fundraising totals, email building and scheduling, and mail merge for letters, labels and envelopes. Online donation forms sync with records in the system.
Advanced tools aim at growing organizations. Major gift stewardship uses task series, events track invitees and attendees, and grant proposals can be followed from ask to completion. Volunteer, membership and alumni modules handle hours served, renewal dates and class years.
Administrators can add custom fields, hide system fields, apply constituent codes, store documents, find duplicates and run bulk updates. Scheduled reports can be set up once and emailed to the team on a schedule. Every one of these features is included in every account.
