Features

Strong donor management, but requires learning multiple tools for fundraising beyond donations.

4.5/5.

Solid donor database with extra fees for donations, ticketing, and memberships add up quickly.

Donations

Bloomerang focuses on donor management and relationship tracking rather than donation processing. While they integrate with payment processors, they don't offer built-in donation forms or payment processing like Zeffy's free platform.

Processes online donations but charges processing fees on top of monthly subscription costs, reducing your fundraising revenue.

Ticketing

Bloomerang doesn't provide event ticketing functionality. Their donor management system tracks donor interactions but lacks the event management and ticket sales capabilities that Zeffy offers at no cost.

Basic event registration through add-on modules, but charges extra fees and lacks modern ticketing features like QR codes.

Peer-to-Peer Fundraising

Limited peer-to-peer fundraising support. While Bloomerang can track donor relationships, it lacks the dedicated peer-to-peer campaign tools and social sharing features that Zeffy provides for grassroots fundraising.

Limited peer-to-peer fundraising features. Basic campaign tracking but lacks modern social sharing and team fundraising tools.

Auctions

No auction functionality available. Bloomerang's donor management focus doesn't include auction tools, bidding systems, or item management features that nonprofits need for fundraising auctions.

DonorPerfect doesn't offer auction functionality. You'd need separate auction software and manual processes to track bidders and donations.

Raffles

No raffle management features available in Bloomerang. As a donor database system, it doesn't include the fundraising tools needed to run raffles, unlike Zeffy's complete raffle management solution.

Raffles are available through DonorPerfect's online forms where gaming laws allow. Running one requires manual winner selection and separate compliance tracking.

Online store

Bloomerang doesn't offer online store capabilities. Their platform centers on donor data management rather than e-commerce functionality, while Zeffy provides a full online store solution for nonprofits.

An online store is available through the Givecloud add-on, which requires separate integration setup and additional costs.

Memberships

Bloomerang offers basic membership tracking through donor records but lacks dedicated membership management features like renewal automation or member-specific communication tools.

Donor Management/CRM

Emails & Newsletter

Bloomerang includes email marketing tools with templates and segmentation, but advanced features require higher-tier plans and the interface can feel overwhelming for smaller teams.

“We were incurring a ton of fees for our past fundraising platform and Zeffy has helped us receive so much more of our donations.”

Zeffy has been invaluable in helping me track our donors, sales, events, and revenue in one spot. The coolest thing about Zeffy is it really is free!

Everything about Zeffy suits us starting with (of course, NO fees) but also the ease of use and customer experience as well as their client support!!

Zeffy is very easy to use and ensures that every dollar quickly gets into our account.. A huge help to our work!

Zeffy is very simple, allows for a lot of customization and seamlessly integrates into our website. The fact that all of this is free is still wild to me.

We couldn't believe there was a free payment platform for our Girl Scout group. Zeffy took ZERO fees from us, which is huge when you run on very small amounts of money.

We were ready to sell tickets in less than 30 minutes. The reporting capabilities were better than some other paid-for sites.

Since using Zeffy, our conversion rate of donations has skyrocketed. It's an easy platform to use. Plus customer support has always been responsive and helpful!
