## Overview

### Key benefits of Zeffy

Nonprofits keep 100% of what they raise on Zeffy. Comparable platforms cost between 3% and 10% of what a nonprofit raises once their platform fee, card processing and paid plan tiers are counted, so an organization bringing in $100,000 a year keeps roughly $3,000 to $10,000 more on Zeffy. That difference is not a discount or an introductory rate: Zeffy has never charged nonprofits and absorbs the payment processing costs itself.

Everything Zeffy offers is in the free account, from donation forms to a donor CRM. There is no premium tier to unlock, no add-on to budget for, and no per-contact pricing as a supporter list grows. Small organizations get the same platform as large ones, which is usually where a free plan stops being free.

Zeffy replaces several subscriptions at once, so a small team stops paying for, learning and reconciling separate tools for events, giving, email and contacts. Work that used to live in four places reports in one.

Your donor data stays yours. Zeffy does not sell it and does not charge to segment it, and it can be exported whenever you want it elsewhere.

Support is included for every organization on Zeffy at no cost, from a team that works on fundraising all day.

Zeffy is a registered B Corp, used by over 100,000 nonprofits in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Ireland and Australia, who have raised more than $2 billion on the platform.

## Reviews

### "Low Activation Energy (Chemistry term)" — 5.0/5

> **Dan** | *09 July 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like most about Zeffy:
It's ease of use. In other words, there are no barriers (eg, expense, tech complications, etc) I had to surmount\!
Since I have few resources, and no tech team, I VERY much appreciate the lack of barriers\!

My non-profit (EducationEquity Foundation, which provides free MCAT Prep to low-income underrepresented premeds, taught by peer tutors who recently scored VERY well on their own MCATs) hasn't yet pursued donations much, so I have little to add about its performance. I've heard its performance is great, but I haven't used it much. (So far, that is. I plan to step up our fundraising game this summer. Up to now, I've been focused mainly on developing content - the nonprofit was essentially a 1-man band \[ie, ME\], so it has had limited bandwidth. But now, volunteers have joined\!)
> 
> **Cons**: It unintentionally shames me that I don't know more French.
> 
> Wunderbar

### "Really enjoying have one system to do multiple things instead of multiple systems to keep synchronized." — 5.0/5

> **Nicole** | *22 May 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Zeffy was easy to get started with. We were able to export out of mailchimp and into zeffy very quickly. It has saved us money on our monthly newsletter, and it integrates with our donation collection and donor management instead of multiple systems\!
> 
> **Cons**: I do sometimes find it hard to figure out where a feature is, or how to properly use it. But we are a 100% volunteer based organization so if I were a professional I feel like I might have more knowledge or time to better understand some of the more advanced features and take advantage of them.
> 
> Overall our small all volunteer non profit has had no negative experiences with Zeffy, which is amazing. Every prior platform eventually had issues we had to work around, we also don't have complex needs. I can manage my donors, receive donations, create and schedule my newsletters and fundraising campaigns which can be correctly targeted, and now we're getting to sell event tickets as well\!

### "Review of Zeffy for fundraising" — 5.0/5

> **Jack** | *12 October 2026* | Public Safety | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Zeffy is easy to set up and we receive 100% of the donation to us and with  no up front cost to our organization.
> 
> **Cons**: We are very satisified with Zeffy. There are no cons for us to report on because the way Zeffy works,
> 
> Over all, everyone involved with Zeffy is happy with how Zeffy works and how it helps our organization with fundraising.

### "Disappointed and Upset" — 1.0/5

> **donald** | *01 December 2023* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I do not like anything a bout the way you do business\!
> 
> **Cons**: After we opened an account with Zeffy, within the first two months, Zeffy didn't pay two out of 4 donations we had received. I followed up with customer service and was notified that our account had been canceled because our nonprofit (501 c3) religious charity, which has a spotless record and has been active since 2001, was considered high-risk. No other explanation was provided. Also, it will take up to 60 days to refund the donor who paid two donations. My understanding is this can happen to anybody and not worth it. Once you open an account with Zeffy, please provide all the information they need and receive their approval. If your customers make payments to your business,  you still may not receive your money without an explanation, and your account may be canceled without explanation. Your customer refund may take up to 60 days. I don't recommend this company and will file a complaint with the authorities about Zeffy's practice.

### "A no-brainer for non-profits" — 5.0/5

> **Clayton** | *10 August 2026* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Zeffy is a no brainer for any non profit. The fee elimination has saved us and our donors tens of thousands of dollars. The customer service is phenomenal and quick to respond, the campaign creation is seamless and intuitive and customizable, and I never worry about if or when we'll receive our funds. You can use it as a CRM to email your customer base if you'd like, and you can track so many performance metrics.
> 
> **Cons**: Can't say there's anything I don't like. Maybe that it's another platform to manage? But it's the one you should start with.
> 
> See what I liked most about Zeffy. I came across this platform trying to figure out a solution for nonprofits to reduce fees to accept digital payments. I found Zeffy and could not be happier.

More than 100,000 organizations run their fundraising on Zeffy, in the United States and Canada, in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and in Germany and Australia, and together they have brought in over $2 billion.\n\nHow is Zeffy free? Zeffy bills the organization nothing: not a share of donations, not a card processing charge, not a monthly licence, not an onboarding cost. What pays for the platform is a separate contribution a donor may add for Zeffy at checkout. It sits beside the gift instead of inside it, nobody is obliged to leave one, and the organization receives the full amount either way.\n\nWhat can a nonprofit run on Zeffy? A gala or a tournament calls for ticketing and registration, auctions and raffles. Year-round programmes call for recurring gifts, memberships that renew on their own, and membership cards. A campaign calls for a branded form, a peer-to-peer or team page, and a thermometer that shows how close the goal is. Zeffy also carries an online store, email and newsletters, a donate button for an existing website, and QR codes for anything printed. Some features vary by country.\n\nWho is Zeffy for? Mostly small and medium organizations where one person wears several hats: community groups, animal rescues, food banks, sports clubs, faith communities, PTAs and schools, and charities of every size. Zeffy is built to be handed over, so an incoming treasurer or a parent volunteer can publish a form the same day, with no training and nothing for supporters to download. For giving in the room, Tap to Pay turns a phone into the card terminal.\n\nHow do donors give? With a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, or a bank transfer in the United States and Canada, from whatever device they already have open. Zeffy issues the receipt itself and sends it on the spot: to IRS standards for 501(c)(3) organizations, to CRA standards in Canada, and with Gift Aid claimed from HMRC through Charities Online for charities in the United Kingdom, at no extra cost.\n\nWhere does the data sit? Every payment writes back to a single supporter profile in Zeffy's nonprofit CRM, so gifts, attendance, memberships, purchases and email behaviour read as one history rather than five exports. History can be brought in from a CSV or a Mailchimp file, pushed out to QuickBooks Online or Zapier, or handled directly through the open API and webhooks.\n\nZeffy is a registered B Corp. Help from fundraising specialists is included for every organization, at no cost.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/fcb7641e-b977-45ae-9434-b545c9c0f52a.jpeg","url":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2046275/zeffy","@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2046275/zeffy#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/#organization"},"applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","bestRating":5,"ratingCount":513,"ratingValue":4.8},"offers":{"price":"0","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"CAD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2046275/zeffy#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Nonprofit CRM Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/1517/nonprofit-crm/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Zeffy","position":3,"item":"/software/2046275/zeffy","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
