🤝

Zeffy is built specifically for nonprofits with zero platform fees, while crowdfunding platforms charge 2.9-5% plus processing fees. You keep 100% of donations and get nonprofit-focused tools like donor management, recurring giving, and event ticketing all in one place.
Crowdfunding platforms charge fees on every donation (Givealittle takes 5% plus card fees, YouCaring charged 2.9% + 30¢). Zeffy charges zero platform fees. Donors can leave a voluntary contribution to support our mission, but 100% of your donations stay with your cause.
Most crowdfunding platforms focus on one-time campaigns without nonprofit essentials like membership management, event ticketing, or comprehensive donor CRM. Zeffy provides all these tools in one platform, designed specifically for nonprofits' year-round needs.
Zeffy provides unlimited support with live chat, phone calls, and dedicated nonprofit specialists who understand your mission. Crowdfunding platforms offer limited business-hour support focused on campaign troubleshooting, not ongoing nonprofit growth.
Crowdfunding platforms limit you to basic card payments with high fees. Zeffy offers ACH payments, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and tap-to-pay options with zero platform fees, so you keep 100% of every donation regardless of payment method.
Zeffy is the fundraising platform that cuts out the fees, clears up your tech mess, and puts your cause first — so your team, even if you're a small team wearing many hats or a one-person show, can focus on what really matters.
No platform fees. No processing fees. No catch. We know it sounds too good to be true, but it's not. Every penny goes straight to your mission, while competitors take 2-3% off every donation.

Stop bouncing between MailChimp, Eventbrite, and all those spreadsheets. Now you can handle donations, ticket sales, memberships, raffles, and all your donor info in one spot.
Built for teams like yours — whether you're volunteer-led or have limited staff. Set up donation forms, sell tickets, and launch campaigns without needing a tech wizard. It's super easy, and you'll be up and running in minutes.


From QR codes on flyers to Tap-to-Pay on a phone, Zeffy makes it easy to accept donations on the go. Mobile-optimized and offline-ready, so no donor slips through the cracks.
Centralize supporter relationships, automate thank-you messages, and preserve institutional knowledge when board members rotate out.

As a startup nonprofit with only two members, and no funding (yet) we’d need something with low (or no) fees. Zeffy was a dream come true.
