Zeffy Nonprofit Discount & Pricing

Zeffy is a 100% free fundraising platform built exclusively for nonprofits, charities, and charitable organizations. Unlike traditional fundraising platforms that charge 2-5% in platform fees plus credit card processing fees (often totaling 5-8% of every donation), Zeffy takes zero fees—not a penny. The platform covers all credit card transaction fees, payment processing costs, and platform fees, so nonprofits keep 100% of every dollar raised. Over 70,000 nonprofits have raised more than $2 billion through Zeffy while saving an estimated $50 million in fees that would have gone to traditional fundraising platforms.

Zeffy operates on an optional donor tip model: at checkout, donors are invited (but never required) to leave a voluntary contribution to Zeffy to support the platform's operations. These optional tips from generous donors cover Zeffy's costs and allow the platform to remain free for all nonprofits. Zeffy provides a comprehensive all-in-one toolkit including customizable donation forms (one-time and recurring), event ticketing with multiple ticket types and early bird pricing, peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns, online auctions with real-time bidding, raffles and lotteries, online merchandise stores, membership management with tiered benefits, and a built-in donor CRM with email marketing capabilities. The platform also offers automated tax receipt generation, discount codes, customizable branding, Tap to Pay mobile app for in-person donations, and integrations with popular tools.

For nonprofits, Zeffy is ideal for annual fundraising campaigns with online donation forms, ticketed fundraising events with registration and payment processing, peer-to-peer campaigns where supporters fundraise on behalf of your organization, membership organizations with recurring revenue streams, silent auctions and online raffles, merchandise sales to support mission funding, recurring donor programs with automated monthly giving, donor engagement tracking and segmentation for targeted appeals, and email newsletters to keep supporters informed. Zeffy serves organizations of all sizes—from grassroots community groups just getting started to established nonprofits raising millions annually—across causes including education, animal welfare, health, arts and culture, faith-based organizations, sports teams, and social services.
