Forms

Your donation form now adapts to your website

We upgraded how your Zeffy donation form looks and works when embedded on your website. Dynamic height so the form fits the content on every step. Smooth transitions when donors move between steps. Adapts to any width, whether full page or side panel.

To get the new version, go to your campaign, click share, and copy the new embed code. Paste it where the old one was on your website. Takes about two minutes.

Donations

Let donors choose which fund to support

Fund designation is now a native feature on Zeffy. Add funds to your account once, attach them to any donation campaign, and let donors choose at checkout. The breakdown shows up automatically in your payout report, so no more manual exports or spreadsheet grouping.

Setup takes about 2 minutes. If you already have a custom question doing this job, you can swap it out for cleaner reporting right away.

Membership

See every member in one place

A dedicated Members tab now lives inside your Contact section. Filter by status, membership type, join date, expiration, auto-renewal, and more — so you always know who's active, who's lapsing, and who needs a nudge.

Open any contact to see their full membership details at a glance. And your Campaign hub now includes a filtered member view, so you can see exactly who's in each program without jumping between pages.

Fundraising

Donor list and tribute options, now clearer than ever

Thermometer and donor list are now separate — turn each on independently, only if you want them. In honor vs. in memory is now clearly distinguished, so you always know how to follow up with the right message. Every setting includes a built-in explanation.

Fundraising

Meet your new Organization Page

You now have a single, shareable page where supporters can find everything you do, including events, donations, memberships, auctions, and more.

You control what shows up. Choose which campaigns to feature, add your logo and colors, and write your own description. Everything updates automatically as you create new events—no extra work.

Supporters can browse, register, donate, or buy tickets without leaving the page, and subscribe so they never miss what's next.

Your page is already set up in your dashboard—just unpublished for now. Take a few minutes to customize it, then publish when you're ready.
