🫶
Givergy and Swell offer tiered support that leaves small teams waiting. Zeffy provides unlimited help via chat, email, and phone so you can focus on your event, not troubleshooting.
Event platforms charge 2.9-5% fees on every donation and ticket sale, eating into your fundraising revenue. Zeffy is 100% free with no platform fees, so every dollar raised goes directly to your cause.
Unlike event-focused platforms, Zeffy offers complete fundraising tools including online donations, peer-to-peer campaigns, memberships, and donor management. You get everything in one free platform instead of paying for multiple tools.
While paid platforms limit support based on your plan tier, Zeffy provides unlimited free support to all users. Get help setting up events, campaigns, or donor management without worrying about support costs or restrictions.
Event platforms charge 2.9-5% fees plus monthly costs up to $399. Zeffy is completely free with no platform fees or monthly charges. Donors can leave a voluntary contribution, but it's never required.
Event platforms focus only on auctions and ticketing, leaving you to find separate tools for donations, memberships, and donor management. Zeffy gives you everything in one free platform that grows with your nonprofit.
Zeffy is the fundraising platform that cuts out the fees, clears up your tech mess, and puts your cause first — so your team, even if you're a small team wearing many hats or a one-person show, can focus on what really matters.
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.

Stop bouncing between MailChimp, Eventbrite, and all those spreadsheets. Now you can handle donations, ticket sales, memberships, raffles, and all your donor info in one spot.
Built for teams like yours — whether you're volunteer-led or have limited staff. Set up donation forms, sell tickets, and launch campaigns without needing a tech wizard. It's super easy, and you'll be up and running in minutes.


From QR codes on flyers to Tap-to-Pay on a phone, Zeffy makes it easy to accept donations on the go. Mobile-optimized and offline-ready, so no donor slips through the cracks.
Centralize supporter relationships, automate thank-you messages, and preserve institutional knowledge when board members rotate out.

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.
