We Started Little, with Big Ambitions
A Short History of Little Green Light

In 2007 Chris Bicknell and Nick Bicknell started Little Green Light with a dream of helping nonprofits spend less time managing data and more time raising money.

As a former fundraising professional, Chris was frustrated by the time, effort, and expense needed to manage existing donor database systems on the market. He felt there must be a way to make something better and turned to his IT and data management-experienced brother, Nick, to help create an intuitive system capable of expanding as his organization’s needs changed.

Little Green Light’s comprehensive fundraising and contacts management options allow us to track important personal details about each and every person who is connected with our organization.

…[Little Green Light] provides a clear, single-page view of each constituent, and has powerful, easily-configurable reporting capabilities to get an aggregate view.

Megan Farkas, Sant Bani School

Fifteen years and 10,000+ customers later, Little Green Light continues to operate successfully with a simple promise: To be your best and last CRM.
