Use LGL Forms to Accept Online Donations and Payments

Our powerful form builder tool is included in every subscription.

Online Donations

Accept online donations with confidence using Little Green Light’s flexible form builder, LGL Forms. Create custom donation forms in minutes, publish them on your website or share them with a QR code, and start collecting gifts in a way that is simple for your donors and easy for your team.

LGL Forms helps you build a better giving experience while keeping donor data organized in one place. Donations collected through your form can be automatically synced to your Little Green Light donor management system, making it easier to track donors, giving history, and recurring support.

How to Get Started

Built for Easier Giving

Your donation form should feel as welcoming as the mission it supports. With LGL Forms, supporters can give from a phone, tablet, or desktop without friction, while your team gets the gift details you need in Little Green Light right away.

You can also brand the form to fit your organization, so it feels like a seamless part of your site rather than a separate tool. That makes it easier to promote in email, share at events, and point donors to a consistent giving experience.

FAQs

How much are Little Green Light donation processing costs?

There is no added cost to build and publish forms using LGL Forms, but there are transaction fees for payments and/or donations made via a form. Fees for donation processing are charged by your selected payment processor (Stripe or PayPal.) The costs and type of credit card accepted vary by processor (Stripe charges 2.2% +$0.30 per transaction for approved nonprofits). Full pricing can be found in our Online Donations Guide.

Are nonprofit rates available for online donation processing?

Yes, but in order to qualify for nonprofit rates , you'll need to send a copy of your nonprofit (501c3 or 501c4) designation letter along with some basic account information to your selected payment processor. More information can be found in our Knowledge Base.

My nonprofit is based outside the U.S.
Can I use LGL Forms for donation processing?

Yes. If you are a nonprofit based in Canada, the UK, Australia or a dozen other countries outside the U.S., then you can use LGL Forms with either Stripe or PayPal for payment processing. You can see the full list of supported countries in our Knowledge Base article. If you are based in a country not included in our list, contact support to see if we can add your country.

Do I need to have a Little Green Light account to create online donation forms?

Yes, our LGL Forms feature is only available with a Little Green Light account. You can try out our online donation form builder once you set up an account. All Little Green Light accounts come with their first 30 days for free.

Is it possible to migrate existing recurring donations into Little Green Light?

If you want to migrate existing recurring donations and have Little Green Light (or LGL Forms specifically) manage those instead, that is possible as long as your recurring donations are already being run through a Stripe account. If they are not currently run through Stripe, it may also be possible for you to work with your current processor and Stripe to move them into Stripe first. See this Knowledge Base article for details.

Can I publish the forms on my website?

Yes. Once you have built and published your form, you can link to it from your website or add a snippet of HTML code on your website to embed it. (Note that WordPress.com websites do not accept embedded forms at this time - WordPress.org-based sites will work just fine, however.)

Can I use another payment processor besides Stripe or PayPal?

No. The only payment processors currently integrated with our online donations forms are Stripe and PayPal.
