FundRazr works for crowdfunding campaigns. Zeffy works for your entire nonprofit — donations, events, CRM, email, and more in one place.
🤝

FundRazr sends campaign updates. Zeffy gives you donor profiles, email tools, and a CRM so you can build relationships that last past one campaign.
⚡
Get started in minutes, not months
FundRazr is built for crowdfunding pros. Zeffy is built for small teams who need to launch fast — no learning curve, no setup fees, no waiting.
Can I run events and sell tickets on Zeffy like I can with FundRazr?
Yes. Unlike FundRazr, Zeffy includes full event management and ticketing tools so you can sell tickets, manage registrations, and track attendance without needing a separate platform.
Does Zeffy really charge zero fees for nonprofits?
Yes. Zeffy charges zero platform fees, zero monthly fees, and zero hidden costs. Donors have the option to leave a voluntary contribution to support our platform, so you keep 100% of donations.
Can I use Zeffy for more than just crowdfunding campaigns?
Absolutely. Unlike FundRazr's campaign focus, Zeffy handles your entire fundraising program — donations, events, memberships, raffles, ticketing, and an online store, all in one place.
How does Zeffy compare to FundRazr for ongoing donor relationships?
Zeffy includes a built-in CRM, donor profiles, and email tools so you can nurture relationships year-round. FundRazr only sends campaign updates and lacks nonprofit donor management features.
How much does FundRazr charge in fees?
FundRazr charges platform fees of 1-5% plus processing fees of about 2.9% + $0.30 per donation. On $10,000 raised, that can add up to $540-$940 in total fees. Zeffy charges zero platform and processing fees.
Is FundRazr good for nonprofits or just crowdfunding?
FundRazr is built primarily for crowdfunding campaigns, not ongoing nonprofit operations. If you need donor management, events, memberships, and email tools in one place, Zeffy is designed specifically for that.
What do nonprofits say about switching from FundRazr to Zeffy?
Nonprofits like Noelle's Gift to Children saved over $13,000 after switching to Zeffy. Organizations consistently cite keeping 100% of donations as the main reason they made the switch.
Is there a free alternative to FundRazr for nonprofits?
Yes. Zeffy is 100% free for registered nonprofits with no platform fees, no processing fees, and no monthly costs. You get donations, events, CRM, and email tools without paying a percentage of what you raise.
How long does it take to set up Zeffy compared to FundRazr?
Zeffy is designed for small teams to launch quickly without a steep learning curve. You can create donation forms, event pages, or peer-to-peer campaigns in minutes with no technical experience required.
Is FundRazr legitimate and safe to use?
Yes. FundRazr is an established crowdfunding platform that has been running since 2009, and it uses standard payment processors. The question worth asking is not whether it is safe but what it costs you: its platform fees run 1 to 5% on top of roughly 2.9% + $0.30 in processing. Zeffy is a registered payment facilitator with its own PCI DSS certification and charges neither.
What do FundRazr reviews say?
Scores move, so check Capterra or G2 directly rather than trusting a competitor's summary of them. The substance behind most FundRazr reviews is its pricing: a platform fee of 1 to 5% on top of roughly 2.9% + $0.30 in processing, which is the figure to compare against whatever else you are considering. Zeffy charges neither, and covers donations, events, memberships and donor management in one place.

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.
