Why using the LGL Refer a Friend program is a Win-Win!

Did you know that as a team member in a subscribing LGL account, you are eligible to refer other nonprofits to LGL, pass along some savings on subscription fees to them, AND receive credits toward your own organization’s future LGL subscription fees? This is the LGL Refer a Friend program in a nutshell—and why it is a Win-Win!

Refer a Friend is available to all LGL subscribing accounts

What is the benefit of making referrals?

When you make a Refer a Friend referral and the organization you referred creates an LGL account using your referral code, a $100 credit will be applied to their next subscription payment.

When your referral pays for an LGL subscription, your organization’s LGL account will also be credited $100.

There are no limits to this program, so it can be a great way to get some (or all!) of your organization’s future LGL subscription fees paid for.

How do I make a Refer a Friend referral?

The easiest way to make a Refer a Friend referral is right from within your LGL account. Just navigate to the Refer a friend portal by clicking the link in the top right corner of your subscribing LGL account.

You can then make referrals via email as well as monitor the progress of referrals you’ve made in the Refer a friend portal:

Another way to make a referral is simply to share the account prefix of your LGL account (as in prefix.littlegreenlight.com) with your friends. However, if you want to keep track of the status of those referrals from the start, it’s best to use the emails in the Refer a friend portal.

A few things to know:

• The Refer a friend portal is visible only within LGL subscribing accounts.
• If you use the email option in the Refer a friend portal, then the link you are sharing contains an embedded referral code. If your referral uses that same link to navigate to LGL and set up their account, the referral code will be applied automatically.
• Your Refer a Friend referral code can also be applied directly by your referred organization either when they sign up and verify a new LGL account or when they first subscribe to that account. In both places, they will see a Referral Code box where they can enter your referral code (prefix). Note: We cannot apply the Refer a Friend code after an account has paid for a subscription.
• Only one referral code can be applied to a new LGL account.
