Snap! Raise VS Open Collective
💯
Snap! Raise takes 20% of every dollar raised, and Open Collective charges 5–10% in host fees before you see a cent. Zeffy charges zero platform fees, zero processing fees, and zero monthly fees — so 100% of every donation goes directly to your mission.
🤝
Open Collective requires fiscal host approval to access your funds. Snap! Raise holds back 20% before payouts. Zeffy sends donations straight to your bank account in 2–5 business days with no middleman, no approval delays, and no cuts.
🧩
Snap! Raise is built for short-term school campaigns. Open Collective is designed for tech collectives, not traditional nonprofits. Zeffy gives you donation forms, donor management, event ticketing, email tools, and auctions in one place — built for year-round fundraising, not one-off campaigns.
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.

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.
