Frequently asked questions
Does Zeffy really charge zero fees for fundraising?
Yes. Zeffy charges zero platform fees, zero monthly fees, and zero transaction fees. Donors have the option to leave a voluntary contribution to support our platform, but it's completely optional.
Can I use Zeffy for more than just peer-to-peer campaigns?
Absolutely. Unlike Snap! Raise, which focuses on school campaigns, Zeffy gives you donation forms, event ticketing, donor management, email tools, and more to support your year-round fundraising.
How quickly can I start fundraising with Zeffy?
You can start today. Create your first donation form in minutes without onboarding calls or campaign setup. Just sign up, customize your form, and share it with your community.
Why do other all-in-one platforms charge fees when Zeffy doesn't?
Most all-in-one platforms take a cut because they're built for profit. Zeffy operates differently - donors have the option to leave a voluntary contribution to keep our platform running, but it's completely optional. This means 100% of your fundraising goes to your mission, not platform fees.
Can I switch from Snap! Raise or Blackbaud to Zeffy without losing my donor data?
Yes. Zeffy makes it easy to import your donor contacts and giving history from other platforms. Our support team helps you migrate your data so you can start keeping 100% of donations without losing the relationships you've built.

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.
