Can I access all fundraising tools without upgrading to paid plans?
Yes. Zeffy gives you donation forms, peer-to-peer campaigns, event ticketing, raffles, auctions, and CRM tools right away. Other platforms lock key features behind paid plans or charge extra fees for full access to their fundraising suite.
What kind of support can I expect when I need help with my fundraising?
Zeffy offers unlimited email support, live chat, and phone support with real people who understand nonprofits. Other platforms provide limited email support with unclear response times and no dedicated nonprofit teams to help with your specific needs.
Can I collect payments at events without buying extra hardware?
Yes. Zeffy includes tap-to-pay on any smartphone, so your team can accept donations at galas, walks, or community events without card readers or monthly fees. Other platforms require separate hardware purchases and additional costs for in-person giving.
Do I need to switch between different tools to run my fundraising campaigns?
No. Zeffy combines donations, event ticketing, raffles, auctions, and donor management in one platform. Other all-in-one platforms lock key features behind paid upgrades or require third-party integrations to get the full fundraising toolkit.
