Camille Nineuil,

Zeffy understands our issues and adapts to the world of NPO's 

"Zeffy allowed us to raise several thousands of dollars in order to finance our mission of recovering bikes! During this campaign, Zeffy was able to offer strong logistical support while taking into account the reality of our NPO! It is an important aspect for us to be able to collaborate with partners who understand our issues and are able to adapt to the world of non-profit organizations!

Adam Aït-Arab,
Community Coordinator
Easy to use and suits our needs!

“Prior to 2021, SAT was soliciting very few donations annually. With Zeffy's unique payout method that allows us to keep 100% of our donations, we started our very first annual fundraising campaign. Zeffy has been an essential partner in the success of our campaigns. In one year, we raised over $100,000 in donations!”
