Salesforce NPSP → Little Green Light: how to switch

Export your Salesforce data with the Data Export Service (the zip is deleted 48 hours after the email), then load it with Little Green Light's three-step import: prep the data, upload and map fields, review and save. The import tool comes with every subscription; for complex data, LGL points you to its Consultant Network. Expect to run it yourself.

For small shops leaving Salesforce for a simpler, lower-cost donor database.
