🧾
Give Lively adds confusing surcharges at checkout. JustGiving takes a 5% cut before your donors even see the receipt. Zeffy keeps it simple: what they give is what you get.
Give Lively and JustGiving pass processing fees to your donors at checkout. Zeffy covers all transaction fees, so 100% of every donation goes to your mission. Donors have the option to leave a voluntary contribution to support Zeffy.
Give Lively and JustGiving require separate platforms for raffles and auctions. Zeffy includes donation forms, event ticketing, raffles, auctions, and peer-to-peer campaigns in one place, so you can manage everything without switching tools.
Give Lively offers limited support channels, while JustGiving runs on UK time with UK-focused guidance. Zeffy provides free, unlimited support from nonprofit fundraising experts who know US compliance and respond when you need help most.
Give Lively only offers ACH for recurring gifts, and JustGiving doesn't support bank transfers at all. Zeffy accepts ACH payments, credit cards, and digital wallets online, plus our mobile app lets you process donations at events without extra hardware.

No platform fees. No processing fees. No catch. We know it sounds too good to be true, but it's not. Every penny goes straight to your mission, while competitors take 2-3% off every donation.

As a startup nonprofit with only two members, and no funding (yet) we’d need something with low (or no) fees. Zeffy was a dream come true.
