Frequently asked questions
Does Zeffy work for small nonprofits or just large organizations?
Zeffy is built specifically for small nonprofits. While GiveCampus is designed for universities with dedicated advancement teams and Raise 365 has technical issues that frustrate small teams, Zeffy gives you the same donor management and campaign tools without needing IT support or a learning curve.
Can I take in-person payments at events without extra hardware?
Yes. Zeffy's Tap to Pay app lets anyone on your team take payments from their phone at events. GiveCampus and Raise 365 require separate hardware or third-party solutions for in-person payments, adding complexity and costs to your events.
How much does Zeffy actually cost compared to other all-in-one fundraising platforms?
Zeffy is completely free. Other all-in-one platforms like GiveCampus and Raise 365 charge 5% platform fees plus 2.9% + $0.30 processing costs per transaction, meaning you lose about 8% of every donation. With Zeffy, donors have the option to leave a voluntary contribution to keep the platform running.
Can I run auctions and raffles on Zeffy without paying extra fees?
Yes. Most all-in-one platforms focus on basic campaigns but don't include auction or raffle tools, or they charge extra for them. Zeffy gives you donation forms, peer-to-peer, events, auctions, raffles, memberships, and a full CRM in one place — all fee-free.
Do I need a long setup process to start using Zeffy?
No. Many all-in-one platforms are built for large organizations with IT support and longer setup timelines. Zeffy is designed for small teams who need to launch campaigns quickly without technical help or training sessions.
