The Zero-Fee Fundraising Platform Helping Nonprofits Keep Every Dollar
If you’ve ever been part of a nonprofit, you know how annoying fundraising platform fees can be — 2%, 3%, sometimes way more, and suddenly a chunk of every donation disappears before it even gets to your cause. Zeffy flips that model on its head. It’s a zero-fee fundraising and donor-management platform that lets charities, clubs, and nonprofits collect donations, sell tickets, run raffles, and manage donors without paying a cent to the platform itself.
What makes Zeffy different?
Most fundraising software charges both platform fees and payment processing fees on every transaction. Zeffy doesn’t — 100% of donations you raise go directly to your cause. That’s because Zeffy is funded by optional tips from donors, not by taking a cut of what you raise. Donors can chip in to support the platform, but they’re never forced to.
Since it started, Zeffy has grown fast. It’s used by tens of thousands of nonprofits across North America and has helped process more than $1 billion in donations — money that would’ve been smaller if fees were taken out.
Why it matters
When you’re fundraising for your expenses toward your trip to the World Championships of Performing Arts, losing part of a donation to fees feels like money wasted on overhead, not impact. Zeffy’s model helps our nonprofit, the Canadian Performing Artists Guild, maximize every dollar raised — so you can focus less on tech headaches and more on your mission itself.
